Storage advice

For optimal storage of Pineau des Charentes (white) adhere to the following practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent cool room temperature ideally around 15–20°C avoiding fluctuations. Temperatures between 20°C and 25°C are typical during production and aging but for storage cooler stable conditions closer to 15–20°C are preferable to preserve quality. After opening it is best to keep the bottle refrigerated around 8–10°C to maintain freshness.

- Light exposure: Avoid direct sunlight and strong artificial light as UV rays can degrade the beverage and impact its flavor and color. Store the bottle in a dark or dimly lit place.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cork or closure to prevent oxidation and evaporation. After opening always re-cork tightly or use a suitable stopper.

- Bottle position: Store all bottles upright to keep the liquid in contact with as little cork as possible preventing cork deterioration and contamination.

- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity around 50–70% to avoid cork drying out or mold growth. Too dry conditions may affect the cork seal's integrity.

- Special storage tips:
- White Pineau des Charentes typically ages for a minimum of 18 months with about 12 months in oak barrels during production. Proper storage post-production should maintain stability without excessive aging influence.
- Once opened consume within 3 to 6 months and keep it refrigerated upright to preserve freshness and aromatic quality.

These measures will best preserve the quality and shelf life of Pineau des Charentes white both unopened and after opening.
