Review – Wine Enthusiast
“Aromas feature plums, red berries, raisins, cherry preserves and poppy seeds. The palate entry is sleek and woody sweet; the mid-palate finds flavors of pipe tobacco, marzipan, dark caramel, fudge and chocolate orange. Finishes stately yet vivacious. Find and buy.”
Reviseur Pineau des Charentes is a French fortified white wine, “Vin de Liqueur”, from the Petite Champagne region. It gained AOC status in 1945.
It is comprised of Cognac (eaux-de-vie) and blended with slightly fermented grape must from the current vintage. This Vieux (old) Pineau is aged at the estate for at least 5-years in French Oak barrels, which gives the wine more complexity.
This moderately sweet French wine can be used as an aperitif or with fresh fruit after dinner. It is served chilled in a tulip shaped glass. It is also used as an ingredient in various cocktails. (Alc. 17% by Vol.)
Tasting Notes: An elegant wine with fruit flavors and hints of chestnuts, dried fruits and gingerbread notes.

“Bright brilliant gold color. Delicate, floral, fruity jammy aromas of caramelized nuts, dried fruits, and delicate spice with a satiny, crisp, fruity sweet light-to-medium body and a polished, interesting, medium-length tasted almonds, peach, golden raisins, and honey finish. A delicious, juicy, and refreshing aperitif.”

“Pure amber color. Aromas of floral honeycomb, dried fruits, cola, and pistachio nougat with a silky, fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body and a warming elegant dance of nuts, spices, cider, caramel, and minerals. A very polished and stylish VSOP.” – Beverage Testing Institute

“Bright pale amber color. Layered aromas of figs, dried pear, praline, waxy honeycomb, and baking spices with a silky, fruity-yet-dry medium body and a long, lively, interplay of fruits, nuts, chocolate, spices, and minerals. A delightful, vivacious VS that will be great in cocktails” – Beverage Testing Institute
