Pineau d'Aunis - 2022 - Valentin Desloges
Les Quatre Piliers
Second vintage for this cuvée, featuring notes of soft spices, especially pink peppercorn, alongside red berries like raspberry and redcurrant. On the palate: lovely tannic texture, precise and lengthy finish, with remarkable finesse. Promising aging potential.

100% Pineau d'Aunis from 50-year-old vines from a massal selection, farmed organically and planted right in the bed of the Cher River, just 200 meters from the water on alluvial and clay soils. Harvested by hand. Vinification: full destemming, 8 days of maceration without forcing the extraction, soft pressing, and over a year of aging in barrels, with 5% new oak. Bottled at the estate in the last week of November 2023 with a low dose of sulfur.
