Merlet started out as Cognac distillers in 1850 and in the 1970s branched out into the production of liqueurs with the first planting of blackcurrant vines. Since then the company has gone on to focus on quality control and are continually improving the range. The result of which has been the accumulation of dozens of awards.

A delicious blend of unfermented red grape must that is fortified with the addition of Cognac. Oak barrels are then used for ageing and the finished product is a blend of both young and aged Pineau from different casks. Ideal served chilled as an aperitif or with dessert.
