Pineau des Charentes (a blend of 1/3 Cognac and 2/3 grape juice) is a product which originated due to a mistake made during the grape harvest. An employee of a Cognac producer unwittingly poured grape juice into a barrel which was already a third full of Cognac. To his surprise a few weeks later, instead of finding fermented grape juice (wine), he stumbled on a "mistake" that in fact tasted rather good. And voila! - Pineau des Charentes was born.

Pineau Blanc : A result of blends of several Pineau's ranging from 3 to 5 years old. It is made from "Ugni Blac" grapes which are also used to make Cognac.
Pineau Rosé : Also a blend of 3 to 5 years, this time made from Merlot grapes. It's sweet and fruity (smells of red fruits).
Vieux Blanc : A result of blends of several Pineau's from 6 to 10 years old. A soft Pineau, easy and pleasant to drink.

Vieux Rosé : A blend of 6 to 10 years. Softened with age and an appeareance of a Madeira flavour.
Très Vieux Blanc : Resulting from blends of several years from 6 to 10 years old. Its softness and body make it an interesting Pineau.
Très Vieux Rosé : An astuce blend of our older Pineau's from 10 to 20 years old. A stronger Madeira flavour and obvious authenticity.
