Pineau François 1er Grande Réserve - Domaine des Gatinauds
This Pineau des Charentes Grande Réserve, aged for 15 years, was produced at Domaine des Gatinauds, in Angeac-Charente, Petite-Champagne. The estate has belonged to the Rivière family since 1804, and eight generations have succeeded one another.
Luminous amber color, deep, complex aromas of gingerbread and almonds. Round and rich on the palate, with notes of exotic fruit, plenty of freshness and a fine rancio. Enjoy at cellar temperature.
The soul of the estate lies in the Lasdoux domaine, in the commune of Angeac, behind the walls of an old house. The five cellars made of blonde Charente stone, where the Limousin oak barrels rest, allow for natural aging, without addition or reduction. This is what gives Lhéraud cognacs, armagnacs and pineaux their incomparable flavor.
The vineyards cover 85 hectares planted with ugni blanc, colombard and folle blanche, spread over two of the six cognac crus, mainly Petite Champagne. It brings roundness and violet scents, while the Grande Champagne provides great complexity and the Fin Bois sand gives freshness and nose. Lhéraud cognacs are rich of this diversity.
