Wines of Charentes

Wines of the Charentes Region are produced in vineyards with a low yield (80 hl/ha), scattered over Charente and the Charente-Maritime. The vines, used for the production of Pineau and Cognac, are also a means for local producers to diversify, wine offering them a supplementary market opportunity.

Predominance of white wine

White wines represent more than 80% of production; dry, light and scented, they accompany fish and seafood delightfully. There are more and more rosé wines, fresh and fruity, on the market, marrying enjoyment and elegance. Red wines, also fruity, accompany regional produce marvellously well. They are normally drunk young, but only reveal their full complexity after a certain period of aging.

Our region’s propitious climate, mild and sunny at the end of autumn, contributes to the production of a range of very pleasant, generally fruity wines – local wines that will awaken your curiosity and that are sure to satisfy your taste buds.
