Description
A favorite of our founder... Marancheville XO Cognac
A hand-selected blend of premier cru eaux-de-vie have been chosen for the Marancheville XO Cognac from the estate's very best barrels. Boasting a distinct rancio character (found only after a lengthy ageing process), the Cognac combines complexity with finesse, offering a warming wintery bouquet of spice, nuts and candied orange.
Marancheville’s XO is a true triple threat, a 30-year age, premier cru provenance and a distinguished rancio flavor make it a real competitor as an XO, it's no wonder it's one of Max's favorite Cognacs... a seal of approval from the Cognac expert himself!
Produced exclusively with Grande Champagne Cognac, the flavor profile is, as expected for a premier cru product, sophisticated and complex. The light aromas of white flowers and violet that perfume the palate are typical for this region's soil, while notes of candied fruits, nuts, leather, wood and musk can be attributed to the three decades this exquisite XO has spent maturing in the noble estate's cellars.
How to Enjoy:
The delightfully deep and spicy notes of this Cognac make it the perfect winter warmer, enjoy it alongside a cup of freshly-pressed Arabica coffee as a delectable digestif, preferably served in a snifter or tulip glass so you can appreciate and savor every single aroma.
Presentation of the Bottle:
This classic and bold design of the carafe is typically Marancheville in style, its square shape perfectly frames the wonderfully warm amber colors emanating from the Cognac. Its smooth clean lines reflect the smooth and distinct palate of the XO Cognac stored within.
The stylish silver topper finishes off the stunning design, which has white, black and gold detailing on the label and neck of the bottle. The decanter equally comes with a cardboard presentation box for gifting, storage or display purposes.

Wonderful Congac if...
I struggled with this one for a while but now that I have almost finished off a bottle I feel I can confidently review it. The reason for the struggle is that each tasting gave me various amounts of alcohol taste; from almost none to very strong. However, underneath it and always present is a bright,...
A solid XO
Fruit greets the nose immediately, predominately orange and orange peel. As it opens more, some subtle spices appear, and then take over. A nice but not overly complex nose with balance. The palate leads off with the sweet fruit, followed by a bit of oak and spice in a lengthy finish. A solid...
Impressive Cognac
This is a well balanced cognac. Spice and wood come through on the nose, with hints of sweet oranges and flower. On the palate, the spice and wood come through, with a bit of caramel. It has a long finish, with balanced notes of spice, wood and fruit. Overall, this is an impressive cognac at a great...
Opulent
Red bronze with copper highlights, darker than the listing image. The first nose is floral with complex notes, some citrus and after a few minutes a little spicy. Initially spicy, but opulent, smooth, complex, Grande Champagne worthy, this is why it’s the 1st Cru. Lengthy finish.
Awesome nose, perfectly round Cognac
One of my favorite Cognacs so far. The nose is brilliant: buttery and complete in any way possible. This is a great taste experience for a beginner like me. I am looking forward to the moment I get to taste this special one again.
