PINEAU BARRELS

Our Pineau des Charentes barrels are sourced directly from the historic wine-growing regions of Charente and Charente-Maritime in southwestern France. Thanks to close partnerships with renowned Pineau producers and Cognac houses, we offer authentically seasoned oak barrels of verified premium quality.

Pineau des Charentes is a traditional French fortified wine, made by blending fresh grape must with Eau de vie de Cognac. This combination creates a unique dessert wine with an alcohol content between 16% and 22%, aged in oak barrels that develop its complex, layered aroma profile.

The barrels we offer were previously filled with white, red, rosé, or Vieux Pineau des Charentes, and are typically crafted from French oak. Depending on the type and aging duration, they impart refined fruit notes, natural sweetness, and gentle oak tones to your product.
