VIN DE FRANCE
Cherry color. The distinguishing characteristic of pineau d’aunis is black pepper. The menthol notes of Sichuan pepper, and white pepper dominate the nose. On the palate a round and gourmand attack with discrete tannins make a wine very digest but without derogation in the long run, a wine which is quite astounding.
