The red version, made with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Tannat must, combines notes of freshly squeezed grapes with red fruits and Armagnac. It is most readily drunk as an apéritif, like Lillet, Dubonnet or its counterpart Pineau des Charentes. However, it's also delicious when poured in a fresh melon half, or even to accompany foie gras.
