Le Roch XO Fine Champagne Cognac

Le Roch XO Fine Champagne Cognac is a true delight from this, as yet, fairly unknown Cognac house.  Le Roch is one of the brand names created by La Gabare (Jean Grosperrin), and produce a small range of great quality Cognacs.  This XO is wonderfully aromatic, with a complex yet well-rounded palate.  The nose thrills with smoky aromas of prune, cinnamon, and liquorice.  On the palate it's silky, oily, and subtle, with no trace of bitterness.  

At 42.5%, this Cognac is slightly above proof, and all of the eaux-de-vie that make up the blend are from the Petite Champagne terroir.  The Cognac is presented in a traditional style bottle, with a striking label, and a presentation sleeve.  A great addition to any Cognac collection.
