Tasting and culinary associations of Pineau des Charentes and Cognac P&C
Tasting & cocktails
Cognac can be tasted in two ways :
– traditionally digestive, pure and at room temperature for old Cognac (Napoleon, XO …),
– but also as an aperitif, lying down, on ice or in cocktail for the youngest (***, VS, VSOP).
The richness of the aromas is extended with floral, fruity, woody or spicy notes.
Gastronomy
Gastronomy is also developing around Cognac, particularly with particularly tasty Cognac-Meal accords :
– fish, seafood, dried hams, white and red meats,
– but also dessert with chocolate or some cheeses.
