Château Montifaud is very much a family enterprise with Michel and Catherine Vallet, their son Laurent and his wife Elodie all involved. They produce a range of lovely unadulterated pure, fine, perfumed cognac. A family domaine and distillery. 125 hectares of vineyard in the heart of the Archiac where the Grande and Petite Champagne meet, much sought after by the larger Houses.
Montifaud Vieux Pineau de Charentes Red
18% abv
Vol- 75cl
Take some sweetly ripe, tangy grape juice. On the same day of squeezing, add to it some fortifying eau de vie. Age it for a while in oak, chill and pour into a glass. Does this not sound utterly delicious? That is, pretty much, how you make pineau des Charentes, which is one of the few summer holiday drinks that survives the transition back to Blighty. The combination of fresh harvest fruit and throat-burning cognac seems particularly apposite as the sunlight slants, the days shorten and the harvest is brought in: you get the taste of summer and winter in a single gulp. – Victoria Moore, The Guardian.
Beautiful with chocolate and dark fruit desserts and strong cheeses.
