Details and technical informations about Winery Drouet Fréres's Pineau des Charentes Blanc.
Discover the grape variety: Mouyssaguès
Light, simple reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and a supple palate, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), gentle spices and herbal notes. Rustic, airy profile to drink young. Preserved in INRAE variety collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage varieties under study. Native black variety from South-West France, today almost extinct.

The word of the wine: Consistency
In tasting, it is the equivalent of chewing (the chewiness of a tannic red wine is also mentioned). We then speak of firmness, fluidity, softness, hardness, and why not the crunchiness of an early wine by reference to the grape.
