Tasting notes

Hardy Coq D'Or is a Pineau with a nice and shiny golden robe. Its very delicate bouquet develops hints of dried fruits, honey and dry linden. This Pineau has supple and strikingly ample attack, and reveals delightful fruity aromas and a pleasant harmony.

Delicious with foie gras, blue cheeses and desserts; especially fruit salads that are not very sweet.
