Due in Dec 12-(free S/H $31) Fransac-Roulletis one of the oldest merchants in the Cognac region. The company was founded in 1838 and is to this day owned and managed by the Roullet family. The traditional French sweet aperitif called Pineau des Charentes has become a big hit around the world. According to legend, during the harvest of 1589, a winemaker accidentally added grape must to a barrel that he believed was empty but in fact contained Cognac. The mixture was returned to the cellars for fermentation and a few years later, the barrel was retrieved and was found to contain the drink that is now call Pineau des Charentes. For the Fransac Pineu des Charentes top quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes are used and Cognac stemming from Petit Champagne of Cognac. The result is a soft and round liqueur with blackberry and cherry flavors –it is a perfect start to your parties!
