VIN DE FRANCE

Tasting comment

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.
