Pineau des Charentes Rastignac
Taking it’s name from the ambitious character in Balzac’s Pere Goriot, this is a sweetish, fortified wine from Charente-Maritime. Very rich aromas made up of fresh fruit (peach, plum and fig) and dried fruit (almond, prune). On the palate, fresh fruit dominates, with citrus flavours helping to balance the sweetness. The finish has a hint of honey and vanilla. A gorgeous aperitif, but can go well with duck too.
Pineau des Charentes is such a wonderful and underrated tipple, made from Ugni blanc grape must, blended with 2 year old Cognac, you should be drinking more of this!
Chateau de Montifaud Pineau des Charentes Rouge
An exciting new addition to the range from Chateau de Montifaud, the Vieux Pineau des Charentes Rouge is a blend of grape juice and Cognac (from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes) aged in French oak casks, a delicious sweet drink.

Maxime Trijol VSOP Grande Champagne
Vanilla, dried fruit and a little apricot are apparent on the nose, leading to a palate that is full-bodied and rich, with orchard fruit, ripe peaches and refined oak, finishing with a spinkling of baking spice.
An independent family firm in their fifth generation, Maxime Trijol estate is run by sisters Pauline & Anne-Sophie, who distil the wine made from grapes grown on their own vines (many major Cognacs are simply blenders). The liquid in their VSOP is an average age of around 15 years (the industry minimum is 4 years).
