The Vieux Pineau des Charentes Blanc by Jean Fillioux is a refined and elegant liqueur that captivates with its perfect balance between sweetness and freshness. Produced in the famous Cognac region of France, specifically at the Jean Fillioux distillery, this Pineau des Charentes is the result of careful selection of white grapes matured in the region, skillfully blended with cognac produced by the same house.
The Jean Fillioux distillery, known for its dedication to quality and attention to detail, follows a traditional method for the production of this liqueur. The grapes are handpicked and gently pressed to preserve all the natural aromas. The juice obtained is then mixed with aged cognac and left to mature in oak barrels for several years.
Upon tasting, the Vieux Pineau des Charentes Blanc reveals a complex aromatic profile, with notes of honey, apricot, and vanilla, enhanced by a light touch of almond and sweet spices. The palate is delightfully smooth, with a pleasant acidity that cuts through the sweetness and prolongs the flavor in a persistent and aromatic finish.
Perfect as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with fish dishes, creamy cheeses, or as a brilliant conclusion to a meal with fruity desserts or fine pastries. Serve slightly chilled to enhance all its aromatic qualities.
The bottle features an elegant design, reflecting the heritage and class of the Jean Fillioux house, making it an ideal gift for lovers of fine and sophisticated liqueurs.

The story
The house began with Honoré Fillioux, who established the business at the end of the 19th century (founding in 1880) and acquired the Domaine de La Pouyade in 1894. Management has remained within the family for generations; Jean, Michel, Pascal and today Christophe Fillioux have contributed to the development of the vineyard and the reserves of eaux-de-vie, creating prized vintages and blends. Production remains limited and focused on expressing the Grande Champagne terroir.
Distillation
Double distillation in a traditional Charentais pot still; distillation with the lees ('avec les lies') reported for some blends.
Ageing
Long aging in French oak casks; management of family reserves for blends and historic vintages.
