Description

Domaine du Chêne Jean Doussoux XO Héritage Cognac

Domaine du Chene Jean Doussoux XO Heritage Cognac is fine blend of extra old eaux-de-vie of the Bons Bois cru. Boasting a powerful and spicy nose the aromas of this Cognac is boath exotic and swaying. Prepare to escape the mundane; as the arrival of aromas including coconut combined with chocolate, blackcurrant and rancio bud transport you to a faraway location, where the sunbeams strongly and nature colours the landscape. The freshness of such a varied tasting palate with fruity and woody notes offer a captivating depth and length in the mouth that will leave you pining for more. This XO Heritage Cognac made exclusively from exceptional quality ugni grapes that have been aged for a minimum of 10 years in Limousin oak barrels is a must-try for XO alfacinados as well as those who are newcomers to the world of Cognac.

Located in the picturesque Bons Bois region of Cognac, the Domaine du Chêne is an authentic, traditional vineyard established in 1865. The Domaine itself is consistently striving for success, transmitting their tradition and authenticity into every Cognac they produce. In doing so, the house controls everything on-site, from farming to distillation and even bottling, they ensure high quality and unique products with every batch.

Presentation of the bottle

Decanted in an elegant and simple bottle design, this XO Heritage Cognac proves that, whilst presentation is important - it’s what’s on the inside that counts the most. Nevertheless, its copper highlights are revealed in the topaz dress of this jewel from Domaine du Chêne Jean Doussoux.

How to Enjoy

Extra Old XO Cognacs speak for themselves so it is commonly advised to let the aromas speak for themselves by serving the Cognac neat or with a splash of water. Alternatively, if you are a more experimental Cognac drinker, Cognac cocktails are an exciting way to experience the flavours of an eaux-de-vie in a different light.
