Description
Couprie XO Grande Champagne Premier Cru Cognac
Couprie XO Grande Champagne Premier Cru Cognac is a well-aged offering made with expertise passed down through the family-run business from generation to generation. This XO boasts aromatic complexity with strong spicy flavors which contrast delightful against subtle hints of honey and vanilla. It’s oaky character is the result of its aging process taking place in Limousin oak barrels. A blend that has been patiently matured over decades, with the youngest component spending at least 10 years in the barrel.
The Couperie family have been vine-growers, based in the Grande Champagne area of Cognac since 1730. Putting their passion and skills to good use, the Cognac house maintain the family traditions of distilling their own wine to make fine, flavourful, elegant Cognac, for the pleasure of dedicated connoisseurs. The wines are stirred before distillation to enhance aromatic concentration. Double distillation is the focus of the brands centuries’ old craft, and the distiller’s nose is still the only instrument capable of selecting the finest eaux de vie. Next, the long maturation process takes place in the estate's ancient, dark, slightly humid cellars. The Cognac is aged exclusively in Limousin oak barrels, gradually acquiring a deep, amber colour and exquisite flavour.
Presentation of the bottle
Arriving with an accompanying wooden gift box, this Grande Champagne XO serves perfectly as a tantalizing treat to someone special. Showcasing its stunning amber color it will certainly stand tall and shine bright in the drinks cabinet, alongside other Cognacs and spirits alike.
How to enjoy
The smoothness and aromatic intensity of this XO are best appreciated at the end of a meal. Be sure to take the time to sip and savour its subtle flavours as they develop deliciously on the palate. We recommend drinking an XO of such fine quality neat or on the rocks.

Cognac my be joker, my be medic. my be Friend!
This cognac doesn't like to be rushed (unless you want to drink heavily). Cognac is deep and serious (beginners will probably not appreciate it). He can develop and play with you. What cognac will be today only God knows. It's true - if the cognac is left for two hours, it will sparkle with a green...
Couprie bravo!
This cognac must breathe (not in the glass, but the whole bottle must breathe). Only then will the pepper disappear and it will taste like fresh plum and lots and lots of green apple. Very rich and it changes, playing with you every day with a slightly new taste and aroma. Bravo Couprie! I love you!
Couprie XO is a very good cognac!
This cognac should not be drunk immediately. You need to open the bottle and let it breathe. Close it and put it away for a week, open it every day for one minute. Only then will the pepper disappear. If this is done, there will be fresh plums, some flowers, and oak aromas. Good cognac. Couprie XO...
About Couprie Cognac
When Pierre Couprie received the distillation permit in 1750, he introduced a long history for the Couprie family. Their estate in Ambleville in the Grande Champagne has been the home to the cognac house sine generations. Like many smaller producers, Couprie Cognac uses only its own wine production to ensure and control the highest quality of their eaux-de-vie. Courpie also produces Pineau des Charentes and liqueurs to broaden their product range.
