Pineau des Charentes is necessarily obtained after an assembly in French oak barrels for about 75% of grape juice and 25% of Cognac. After aging, the analysis should reveal an alcohol content of between 16 ° and 22 °, and a sugar content of 125g of grapes per liter minimum.
The designation requires that the grape must and the Cognac come from the same vineyard, the same terroir and the knowhow of the men passed from generation to generation since 1589. Only after one year of aging the beverage is able to get the appellation Pineau des Charentes, but it still must be approved by a tasting committee appointed by the producers. At this stage, about 30% of production is postponed. If tasting is positive, the Commission, in liaison with the union of producers, grants approval to the product and issue its stamp. Pineau can then be bottled and delivered to the consumer. Everything is done to guarantee consumers a high quality product.
