Pineau is also great in cocktails, blended with fruit juice, tonic water and a few mint leaves.
A Vieux or Très Vieux white Pineau goes exceptionally well with foie gras, blue cheese, and goat's cheese. Melon is also a much appreciated match with young white Pineau.

Couprie - Pineau Blanc
The secret of producing Pineau des Charentes is knowing how to make an expert blend of fresh grape juice (from the Ugni Blanc and Colombard varieties) and old Cognac.
This Pineau des Charentes has been aged in oak barrels for several years, so the blend of grape juice and Cognac is very harmonious.
Couprie - Pineau Blanc Extra Vieux
This extra old Pineau is the result of long, patient barrel ageing, which contributes to a sumptuous, elegant bouquet. Due to long ageing, this Pineau has the colour of old gold, with coppery highlights.
