Appellation Poitou-Charentes - Vin de France

The Poitou-Charentes region, situated in the west of France, is primarily known for its cognac production but also cultivates wines under the Vin de France designation.

The white wines of Poitou-Charentes are often fresh and fruity, while the reds exhibit aromas of red fruits and a delightful roundness. This region, less known than its neighbours such as Bordeaux, offers a wonderful diversity and richness of flavours to be explored by wine enthusiasts.
