Storage advice
For storing Pineau des Charentes (white) follow these practical recommendations to preserve its quality and shelf life:
- Optimal Temperature: Store unopened bottles in a cool place ideally around 15°C or slightly below room temperature. Avoid excessive heat or temperature fluctuations; around 20-25°C is acceptable during initial production steps but for storage cooler is better within typical cellar temperatures (12-18°C). Once opened refrigerate at 8-10°C to maintain freshness.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light as exposure can degrade the beverage and alter its flavor profile.
- Sealing: Bottles are typically sealed with cork closures similar to still wines. After opening ensure the bottle is tightly recorked or sealed with a suitable stopper to minimize oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than on their side. Since Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine with a cork closure upright storage prevents excessive cork contact with alcohol which can potentially deteriorate the cork and affect the seal.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate cellar humidity between 50% and 70% to preserve cork integrity and prevent mold growth. This is standard advice for cork-sealed bottles.
- Special Storage Tips:
- Pineau des Charentes is fully aged before bottling and does not improve with extended cellaring so unlike some fine wines long-term aging in the bottle is unnecessary.
- For opened bottles keep refrigerated and consume within approximately 3 weeks to maintain optimal quality.
- Avoid shaking or agitation during storage; stable conditions help retain aromatic esters and prevent sediment disturbance.
These guidelines apply to both unopened and opened bottles helping to preserve the flavor aroma and overall quality of Pineau des Charentes.
