THE
PEARL
Pineau des Charentes
Age : 5 years
Alcoholic strength : 17%vol
CAPACITY : 75cl
GRAPES : Ugni-Blanc – Colombard – Montils
AGEING : This Pineau is aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of 60 months.
EYE/ VISUAL/COLOUR
Appearance is deep and intense, but also exquisitely delicate (hence its name). Glints of light gold that sparkle and illuminate.
NOSE/ OLFACTORY
Head notes: Lineage: fruity. A delicate approach reminiscent of small stone fruits such as Mirabelle plums, without becoming overly exuberant or demonstrative.
Heart notes: Family: emypreumatic. Instantaneous and charismatic, the intentionally unusual approach innovates by introducing subtle notes of smoked bark.
Base notes: Dominant notes: energising herbs. The sustained presence of notes of peppery vervain and candied ginger is an essential part of the finish.
PALATE/ GUSTATORY
A round attack followed by an impressively wide range.
The most impressive aspect of this Pineau is that its multifaceted salivary energy has been preserved despite being aged in a wooden cask for 60 months. The wood does not come through in the flavour; it merely contributes to the overall sensorial structure.
