André Petit Rouge Pineau des Charentes

André Petit Pineau Rouge des Charentes

The André Petit Pineau Rouge des Charentes is a red Pineau des Charentes from the house of André Petit, with an alcohol by volume of about 17 %. As a fortified wine, it combines fresh juice from red grapes with Cognac eau‑de‑vie in accordance with the Pineau des Charentes AOC.

This Pineau Rouge is labelled “Old Vieux Pineau”, suggesting extended ageing compared to the younger Pineau. On the palate it shows powerful red fruit character—cherry, raspberry—backed by freshness and balance. The nose carries stone fruit aromas, especially black cherry.

Presentation of the bottle

The bottle is 70 cl, traditional shape. Its label is decorated with classic detailing and features a yellow‑accent panel in the lower label, contrasting with the ruby color of the liquid. The cap is dark, and overall the design conveys refinement and character with a nod to tradition.

How to drink

• Serve chilled (around 8‑10 °C) as an apéritif to best appreciate the fruit and freshness.
• Also good with dessert, especially berry‑based desserts, dark chocolate, or rich cheese that can stand up to the sweet and fruity profile.
• After opening, store refrigerated and consume within a reasonable period to preserve the fruit freshness.
