Chateau de Montifaud Pineau des Charentes Rouge

Reviewed on December 9, 2021

Pineau des Charentes, or Pineau as it is often called, is a French fortified wine. It comes in White, Rose and Red. I've picked the Red which is extremely rare even in France! Made of a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. With aromas and flavours of pomegranate, sour cherry, dried strawberries, grapefruit and warm spices, it won't take long for you to be hooked on it! Serve it well chilled, either neat or on ice. It's super versatile mixed with soda or sparkling wine.

Region - Petite Champagne, France
