The wines of this appellation

the reds are fruity, light quaffing wines which are lively and intended to be drunk young. Supplementing them with a dash of Pinot noir and Pinot gris bolsters their framework though at the same time mellows them. Châteaumeillant exhibits a light hue and fragrances of wild strawberry and pepper. The rosés, known as ‘vin gris’, are fresh. Try with mixed salads or fresh goats cheese flavoured with herbs. Recommended pairings for the rosés are exotic cuisine from China, the Caribbean or Thailand.

Cognac stands firm

Cash flow has been bled dry, transactions have dwindled and prospects are pretty lacklustre in its two key markets, the United States and China. For all that, Cognac has lost nothing of its global aura. And as the industry members we spoke to confirmed, there are reasons for hope, particularly for those active in France and Europe.
