Description
Paul Bocuse XO Cognac: Oui, Chef!
Created from a blend of various eaux-de-vie, the Paul Bocuse XO Cognac is a wonderful expression originally chosen by the chef himself. It has been aged for a minimum of ten years in french oak, giving it a rich depth of flavor and mahogany hue.
Part of the H Mounier company, Cognac Paul Bocuse was created as a partnership between the esteemed House of Mounier and the celebrated French chef, Paul Bocuse. Using quality eaux-de-vie from both Grande and Petite Champagne, these bottles are somewhat rare today. The late Paul Bocuse was a champion of nouvelle cuisine, a style of French cooking that focused on high-quality fresh ingredients and stunning presentation. In his lifetime, Bocuse was honored with awards like the Légion d'honneur and was named ‘Chef of the Century’ by The Culinary Institute of America. Many of his recipes featured his country’s most famous spirit, so it’s hardly surprising that such a great gourmand would want to adorn a bottle of Cognac with his own name.
Presentation of the Bottle
The classic decanter is eye-catching with its rounded shape, heavy glass base and oversized gold stopper. Both the label and matching gift box have been designed in a deep blue tone adorned with golden details.
How to Enjoy Paul Bocuse XO Cognac
This XO blend is great before dinner as well as after. Serve neat in tulip glasses at room temperature as a digestif, or over ice as an aperitif. Even better, use it as a luxurious addition to the food itself - impress your guests by pouring it over flambé duck or bananas foster.
