Nose: Rich and smoky with deep aromas of prune, cinnamon, and liquorice. A touch of dried fruit sweetness balances the spice.

Palate: Silky and oily in texture, unfolding with layers of dark fruit, warm spice, and a subtle earthiness. Well-rounded and smooth, with no bitterness.

Finish: Long and lingering, with the warmth of cinnamon and a gentle smoky undertone fading into dried fruit and soft oak.

Description

Le Roch XO Borderies Cognac

Le Roch XO Borderies Cognac is a distinguished offering from the lesser-known Cognac house, Le Roch, a brand under La Gabare (Jean Grosperrin). This XO Cognac is crafted exclusively from eaux-de-vie sourced from the Borderies, the smallest and one of the rarest crus in the Cognac region. Bottled at 42.5% ABV, it presents a harmonious balance of elegance and complexity.

On the nose, it reveals an elegant bouquet with fragrant notes of iris, exotic woods, and violet candy, reflecting the unique terroir of the Borderies plateau. The palate is frank and mineral, offering rich and spicy aromas complemented by candied fruits on the finish. The initial rancio manifests with subtlety, adding depth to the tasting experience.

Presentation of the bottle

The Cognac is presented in a traditional-style bottle, featuring a striking label and accompanied by a presentation sleeve, making it a noteworthy addition to any collection.

How to drink

To fully appreciate the nuanced flavors and aromas of Le Roch XO Borderies Cognac, it is best enjoyed neat at room temperature. Allowing the Cognac to breathe for a few moments before sipping can enhance its aromatic profile, providing a more rewarding tasting experience.

Excellent XO!

21 Apr 2026

This was an excellent XO for the price point and a great representation of the Borderies region. Fragrant and easily sippable at 42 percent ABV. Unlike other XO's I've tried that were very bold, Le Roch is a little more subdued but not lacking character or flavour. Shared a little with friends this...

A surprising discovery

by Bruno

27 Nov 2018

I received this cognac for my birthday and I must say that I was perplexed since it was unknown to me. I usually drink Jean Fillioux. It was a present made by my son who, at 21, does not have great experience in alcohols. At least that applies to my son. Of course he sought counsel from the liquor...
