Very Old Vintage Pineaux

Discover an exceptional collection of vintage Pineaux des Charentes from Maison Lhéraud, a true treasure of Charente wine heritage. Founded in 1810 and established at the Lasdoux estate in Angeac, the Lhéraud family has perpetuated for over two centuries an artisanal tradition of excellence in crafting its spirits and fortified wines.

Pineau des Charentes is born from the blend of fresh grape must and young cognac, then patiently aged in Limousin oak barrels. This rare collection of very old vintage pineaux spans from 1962 to 2000, offering vintages of exceptional maturity and complexity, the result of several decades of aging.

These exceptional pineaux reveal a refined and subtle aromatic palette: notes of walnuts, raisins, candied pears, candied apricots, figs, delicate spices, honey and noble rancio. On the palate, they captivate with their perfect balance between velvety sweetness and elegant freshness, with harmonious acidity supporting intense flavors of dried fruits and spices.

Lot No. 0962 (1962 vintage) was awarded 95 points and the Chairman's Trophy at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022, as well as silver medals at the International Wine & Spirits Competition and the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, testifying to the exceptional quality of these fortified wines.

With their long, harmonious and warm finish, these very old vintage pineaux offer a unique tasting experience, combining refinement, elegance and aromatic persistence. Perfect as a refined aperitif or paired with foie gras, blue cheeses and desserts, they will delight lovers of rare fortified wines and collectors seeking authenticity.
