Tasting review
A golden amber colour resulting from the absorption of the tannins of the oak ageing barrels. Floral aromas with hints of toast and cinnamon. The XO Gold & Blue is a subtle, round and harmonious Cognac.
Description
Gold stands for the sun and light like Gautier's XO Cognac - and blue, for the Maison Gautier on the river. This XO is a blend of very old eaux-de-vie, to give this Cognac its round, full body and typical Ŧrancioŧ.

About Gautier Cognac
Gautier Cognac is amongst the oldest cognac houses, with a very unique location. Gautier is based in Aigre on the Osme river, and ages in an 18th century water mill. Aigre is also referred to as the "Little Venice" of Charente. The proximity to the water and the resulting humidity and temperature in the cellars gives the cognac a recognizable taste. This cognac house unites ancient history with a modern view on the cognac market. It caters both professional cognac connoisseurs and aficionados as well as younger consumers that like to experiment with cognac and try out new and trendy cocktails.

Tasting review:
Nose: Rich yet delicate, spices combined with vanilla, backed by floral aromas

Tasting review from Gautier:
Nose: I ntense, developed aromas, reminiscent of fruits, walnuts and vanilla with great depth.
Palate : The very round, soft taste has a velvety depth of body and unsurpassed length.
Mahogany in colour, with a nose of sweet roses combining with rich and complex aromas - we detected some wonderful fruits and spices. An intense note of rancio.

Q&A
I tasted this cognac, also the Pinar Del Rio Cigar Cognac at http://www.cognac-expert.com/xo-cognac/gautier-pinar-del-rio-cigar-xo-cognacI think this gold & blue xo is really bad.. there is far too much sweet stuff in the mouth, and then abruptly ends. If you like sugared brandy, you will love this one..
I agree with Rodolphe, and also it's totally tricky to USE the bottle! the cognac splashes our of the bottle, uncontrolled... not a good product I'd say.
