Palate: Oak-y elements take shape on the palate, with a touch of fresh violet, petal and strawberry. Finish has notes of rounded orange, old oak and worn leather. Subtle notes of cigar, fruits and crème brûlée - some hints of coffee.

Description

Courvoisier XO Cognac 70cl

One of the most coveted Cognac producers worldwide have become particularly famous for their exquisite spirit, the Courvoisier Extra Old Cognac. Widely recognized as one of the best XO Cognacs in the world, it is a truly complex structure of eaux-de-vie. Courvoisier have truly selected the finest eaux-de-vie from revered terroirs to create the Courvoisier XO. They have chosen the Grande and Petite Champagne to give the liquid elegance and deep flavors due to the chalkiness of the soil, and the smallest Borderies region due to its profound complexity and rarity. Find out more on our blog about why the inclusion of the Borderies cru is so highly desired in a fine Cognac. The result is a rich and rounded spirit; it is voluptuous and decadent with many layers to experience. As an Extra Old Cognac, it contains spirits between 11 and 25 years of age. The sixth Master Blender of the maison, Patrice Pinet, describes the spirit as his drink of choice should he have to choose one bottle to take to a desert island, and so we can trust that this award-winning classic is one to experience for yourself and with others. The complexity of this Cognac is what makes it stand out from the rest. Only master blenders of this caliber can successfully marry all of the eaux-de-vie from different areas to create a symphony of aromas.

Courvoisier has released a number limited edition versions of this Cognac, including the Courvoisier XO Imperial.

How to enjoy the Courvoisier Extra Old Cognac bottle

This is the perfect Cognac to be gifted or enjoyed with friends. Prepare yourself to be taken on a journey of degustation; from the decanter itself which is wonderfully shaped like a tear drop, to the dark amber of the liquid, and finally to the creamy and floral symphony of flavors and aromas. Enjoy it neat, or over ice.

  • 2016 Medaille D'or

About Courvoisier Cognac

Courvoisier is amongst the four leading Cognac houses in the world - also known as the 'Big Four'. Legend has it that the emperor Napoléon himself chose Courvoisier as his preferred Cognac, therefore Courvoisier brandy is often referred to as “The Cognac of Napoleon”. The company dates back to 1828 and since has its headquarters in the town of Jarnac. With prestigious bottles such as Courvoisier Napoléon or Josephine, the Cognac house is at the top of the luxury spirits market. The Courvoisier VS, VSOP, and Rose Liqueur are also very popular. The drink is strongly ingrained in US Hip Hop culture with Busta Rhymes and P Diddy dedicating the song “Pass the Courvoisier” to the traditional brand.
