Conte et Filles XXO Cognac

Lots of fresh fruit on the nose with plums, nectarines and pineapple. There’s wood there too with a cedary presence like an old fashioned pencil case. And some clove rock candy. The arrival in the mouth is very unassuming at first with lots of soft fruit and a trace of toffee before the spices...

Extremely elegant old eau de vie , charming with fantastic nose and long lasting aftermath, exceptionally vigorous and affordable !

Nose: Lots of fruit! Fresh and a bit floral - lively! Palate: The fruitiness continues, not too complex, not a heavy woody cognac - easy to drink! Or as the French say: facile a boire. A great introduction to the Conte et Filles cognac range. It's great value for money and if you can find it on...
