Featured Wine - Pineau des Charentes Rosé, Domaine Paul Moreau NV
In the 16th century a wine maker mistakenly poured some newly pressed grape juice into a cask containing a little Cognac. Furious at his blunder, he put the "useless" cask into a corner of his storehouse and forgot about it. It was a few years later when the grape harvest was particularly abundant that he suddenly needed his forgotten cask. To his surprise when pouring out the contents, he discovered a marvellous, clear liquid that tasted of the fruit and the sunshine that blesses the Charente area. Pineau des Charentes was born, an accident no longer.
