Description
Lavenat XO Cognac
Lavenat XO Cognac is a beautifully well-matured blend that spent an average of 30 years aging in French oak barrels - which is 20 years more than required for a Cognac to classify as XO quality. Talk about getting more than what you bargained for?
Produced in very small quantities, all of the Cognacs produced by Lavenat have been made with love and unquestionable passion. Fronted by Monsieur Lavenat, who takes the role of the cellar master, he doesn’t remember a day when Cognac production wasn’t at the centre of his world. His admirable enthusiasm and passion for the craft are embodied through each and every Cognac in his small collection of products.
Presentation of the bottle
Displayed in an emerald green frosted glass bottle, the form of the decanter is somewhat symbolic of a Champagne or sparkling wine bottle. Not to be confused with wine; however, this bottle contains a blend of 30-year-old eaux-de-vie. Adding to its opulent presence, golden foil decorates the neck of the bottle, while swirly typology marks its heritage and refined image.
How to enjoy
An XO of such fine quality and esteemed age merits being served in its purest form - neat and at room temperature. Pour the precious nectar into a tulip glass and let it rest for a few minutes before taking your first sip. This way, the aromas will be given time to evolve and open up to their fullest potential.

Excellent Titulaire de Fins Bois

An amazing Fins Bois
I recently stumbled on this and pulled the trigger. Amazing decision! It's an amazing retro bottle, amazing story and great presentation from Cognac Expert! A smooth, well-balanced XO. An old, could easily be an Extra or so from other producers. Dried fruits, fresh aromas. Just great

A Beautiful Cognac
I have tasted this Lavenat XO several times now. Each time it excites me more then the previous tasting. The nose of dried fruit and spice continues to the taste. The caramel and rancio round out the flavour. The finish is long and pure sensory enjoyment. This is a beautiful cognac. I hope the Lavenat...
A love for the cognac
Bright shiny copper in the glass. The first nose is sweet, caramel and fruit becoming sweeter over time. Fresh scents, hard to believe its age. Fins Bois character, an elegant fruit, mature yet fresh. Sweet yet still 40%, a long finish, everything about this eau de vis says passion, a love for...
