Château de Montifaud Pineau des Charentes Vieux Blanc

A Refined & Aged White Fortified Wine from Cognac’s Heart

Heritage & Terroir

• Six Generations of Family Legacy
  Handcrafted by the Vallet family at Château de Montifaud, a sixth-generation estate deeply rooted in grape-growing and spirit-making on-site.

• Authentic AOC Expression
  This “Vieux Blanc” iteration follows the appellation’s highest standards, blending tradition with rigorous aging to deliver sophistication and quality.

Composition & Aging

• Blended from Complementary Grapes
  Crafted from Ugni Blanc, prized for its finesse, elegance, and subtle acidity; and Colombard, known for its fruit persistence  creating a balanced, expressive profile.

• Extended Barrel Aging
  Aged in oak casks for well over the minimum five years required for the “Vieux” designation. This extended maturation develops nuanced, rounded flavors with noble wood character.

Tasting Profile

• Nose
  Aromas of wildflower honey, apricot, and white peach, set against a backdrop of wood-aged rancio, grilled almond, vanilla, and buttered toast.

• Palate & Finish
  Silky and smooth on the palate, combining fresh white fruit, honeyed sweetness, and gentle oak spice. The finish is long and warm, highlighting toasted undertones and dried fruit complexity.
