Pineau des Charentes

More than 300 years ago, when the distillation started in the region of Cognac, a wine grower filled up fresh pressed grape juice in an barrel, which he thought was empty. But there was a left over of cognac in the barrel, which stopped the fermentation of the cider. Instead it cleaned up the cider. When the wine grower opened the barrel after a few months, the content had changed surprisingly. 'The barrel now contained a fruity, fresh liqueur-wine, made from the merge of the taste of ripe grapes and the aroma of old cognac. By accident, he had produced a new drink, believing the story. The drink was called Pineau des Charentes. Pineau des Charentes is a liqueur-wine having the Appellation Controlee (controlled origin description) depending on the type of grapes used it is either White or Rosé. Therefore it has to be produced after strict prescriptions, like other French quality-wines. The prescriptions regulate the region of production, allowed types of vine, maximum harvest per hectare, minimum alcohol content and wine-production procedure. The first prescriptions for Pineau des Charentes were set in 1935, they have been changed for the last time in 1972, by regulating them even stricter. Pineau des Charentes is only allowed to be produced from fresh grape juice of certain types of vine coming from a Cognac-region prescribed by law and from Cognac and while the vine harvest is still going on. The use of preserved, concentrated, filtrated or sulphured cider is prohibited. The juice has to be pressed from well-ripened grapes. Furthermore the juice should have a natural sugar content of at least 170 grams per litre and a potential alcohol content of at least 10 %. The grapes are only pressed slightly, the pressed amount should not be above 40 hectolitres per hectare using white grapes or above 50 hectolitres per hectare using red grapes. The fermentation of the cider is stopped by adding cognac, which is at least 16 up to 20 % the most for the liqueur wine. Cognac and cider have to come from the same wine grower or same society. Often the mixture is stirred shortly in the first week and mainly while winter time, to make sure that grape juice and cognac merge. All of this takes place in the oak barrels, where the wine has to be stored for at least 12 months. Before Pineau des Charentes is sold on the market, it has to be analysed in a laboratory and a taste-controlling takes place.
