Chateau Montifaud Pineau Des Charentes Rouge Vieux

The name Chateau de Montifaud has a historically link to the land where the distillery sits. Many years ago it was the location of a castle. Which is why the word “chateau” is permitted to be used, a rarity in cognac.

Documents show that the Vallet family has been making cognac here since 1837, though the family believes production started even earlier. Sixth generation Laurent Vallet currently runs the business, taking over from his father Michel in 2010.

Chateau Montifaud Pineau Des Charentes Blanc Vieux is the result of stopping the grape juice fermentation within hours of the pressing by blending it with cognac that is at least one year old - a process that originally occurred by mistake in 1589. This leaves an unmistakable sweetness tempered by a fresh fruit character.
