Chateau Montifaud, Vieux Pineau des Charentes Blanc

Chateau Montifaud Vieux Pineau des Charentes Blanc is a distinctive French dessert wine from the heart of Cognac, offering a beautifully balanced mix of sweetness, freshness, and the elegance of fine eaux-de-vie. Made from Ugni Blanc and Colombard, it stands out for its long oak ageing and the unmistakable character it inherits from Cognac, making it both traditional and refined.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous golden hue. The nose is inviting and layered, with white flowers, ripe tropical fruit, toasted almonds, and a touch of light chocolate. On the palate, it is fresh and silky, with sweetness lifted by lively acidity and flavours of pineapple, melon, and roasted nuts, finishing with a subtle Cognac-influenced depth. Thanks to its 10 to 12 years of maturation in oak barrels, this Vieux Pineau des Charentes Blanc has developed a polished, complex profile with rounded edges and a harmonious balance between fruit, sweetness, and structure. It is ready to enjoy now, though it will continue to hold its appeal over time.

Production
Pineau des Charentes is produced in the Cognac region by blending grape must with Cognac before fermentation is complete, preserving the wine’s natural sweetness and freshness while raising the alcohol level to around 17%. This white version is made from Colombard and Ugni Blanc, and the Vieux designation indicates extended ageing in oak casks for 10 to 12 years, which softens the acidity and adds complexity, texture, and subtle toasty notes.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to keep its freshness and aromatic lift. It pairs beautifully with fruit desserts, pastries with nuts, tarte tatin, blue cheese, or simply served on its own as an elegant after-dinner drink. Decanting is not necessary.

With deep roots in the region, the estate has built a strong reputation for quality cognac and related specialties such as Pineau des Charentes, reflecting both heritage and consistency in every bottle.
