Grapes varieties: 50% of Colombard and 50% of Ugni blanc.
Vineyard & Soils: sustainable growing process, Petite
Champagne chalky soil (limestone).
Harvest: after maturity controls, grapes are picked-up by
hand for the best selection of grapes.
Maceration: a maceration is carried out for 36 hours to
concentrate all the aromas and bring fatness and structure
to our Pineau des Charentes.
Pressing: the 2 varieties are pressed separately in a
specific pneumatic press.
Mutage: the grape juice (3/4) is mixed with (1/4) Cognac
brandy (at least 70% volume and aged at least 1 year).
Adding the Cognac with a high alcohol content interrupts
the start of fermentation, thus keeping the natural sugar of
the grape
Ageing: this blend is aged in French oak casks (roux and
old) for many years
Bottling: at the estate.
