Everything You Need to Know About Vin de Pays Charentais
Vin de Pays Charentais is a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) from the Poitou-Charentes region, producing white, red, and rosé wines on limestone soils near the Cognac production areas. The Charente grape varieties— Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Merlot —produce light, fresh wines.
These unpretentious yet authentic wines are the perfect accompaniment to local cuisine: Atlantic seafood, Charente cheeses, and cured meats. This limited production is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of this region, known for its Cognac.
