Description
Marquis de Brim XO Cognac
The Marquis de Brim XO Cognac is a brilliant blend of eaux-de-vie that is matured for a minimum of 10 years. This Cognac offers an eclectic tasting palate with notes of citrus, chocolate mousse, creme brulee, toasted fruitcake, which roll across the palate smoothly until aromas of dried fruits, tobacco and spices prevail. Upon the very first sip, the sheer passion and credible know-how of the house of Marquis de Brim will become apparent to tasters, as this XO speaks volumes of the brand and demonstrates the importance of fine quality when it comes to Cognac.
Marquis de Brim is a Cognac Maison honouring the family history and life of Olivier de Brim who was born in the Cognac region under King Louis XIV. Olivier served sovereign to the King and made his reputation through his military successes, gaining the ‘Marquis’ title and a chateau from the King. He discovered his dream of producing exceptional wines and Cognacs, and with ownership of the castle his dream came to life. Today, current generations of the Marquis de Brim family continue his work with passion to offer a selection of great Cognacs that will delight amateurs Cognac drinkers just as much as the clued up connoisseurs.
Presentation of the decanter
A slim and curved decanter with golden and burgundy detailing. The accompanying burgundy gift box presents an inviting illustration which we suspect refers also to the history of Marquis de Brim and the family’s ancestor Olivier de Brim. The traditional design of both the bottle and the sleeve make Marquis de Brim XO Cognac a wonderful gift for someone who not only enjoys fine Cognac - but the story it tells too.
How to enjoy
Enjoy it neat, or on the rocks. This XO Cognac is an after dinner must-have; sip and savour as the flavors open up across the palate. Pairing Marquis de Brim XO with a chocolate or creamy dessert compliments the aromas of chocolate mousse, creme brulee and coffee beautifully.
