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.
