Moyet XO Fine Champagne Cognac

Moyet XO Fine Champagne Cognac (750ml)

Moyet XO Fine Champagne Cognac (750ml) originates from a producer with a long history in the Cognac region of France. Established in 1864 by Euthrope Moyet, the house has maintained traditional methods for Cognac production. This XO expression represents an aged style within the Moyet range, crafted to offer depth developed through time. It holds the "Fine Champagne" appellation, which denotes a specific geographic blend.

The classification "Fine Champagne" is a protected appellation, signifying that this Cognac is a blend of eaux-de-vie exclusively from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, with Grande Champagne making up at least 50% of the blend. These key growing areas are recognized for their chalky soils, which impart a distinct character and contribute to the aging capability of the spirits. The grapes, primarily Ugni Blanc, are fermented and then undergo double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills. The eaux-de-vie are then aged in French oak barrels, with the XO designation indicating that the youngest Cognac in the blend has matured for a minimum of ten years.

This Moyet XO Fine Champagne Cognac is presented in a 750ml bottle. As a non-vintage expression, it represents the blending art of the cellar master to achieve a consistent profile over time. It has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 40%.
