    Product description

    This cognac is obtained through the distillation of wines coming from this unique cru of the Cognac region. This area, located in the center of the region, has a typical soil consisting mainly of clay stones—great terroir for making wine and cognac. The Petite Champagne fresh distillate offers a wonderful minerality, very delicate pear and floral hints, and even a fresh, buttery nose. These delicate elements need more time than any other cru to reach maturation, with a minimum requirement of 10 years in oak. This Single Cru XO is a blend of cognacs aged 10 to 20 years, exclusively selected for their great elegance, typical of this terroir. We favor aging these cognacs in humid, stable-temperature cellars using specific small-grain French oak casks that are lightly toasted.

    Appearance - amber and copper with golden glints

    Aroma - powerful, overwhelming nose, showing a great complexity from the start with a perfectly aligned balance of minerality and dry fruit notes, prunes, a hint of crystallized citrus, blonde tobacco and humid cellar

    Palate - as the aroma, great flavorful start combining fruitiness, minerality and delicious oxidized hints (typical cognac rancio)

    Finish - nice, light, cigar box and old cellar hints adding some spiciness for a soft, smooth and long finish
