Frédéric Mestreau XO Petite Champagne Cognac

Cognac Mestreau XO Petite Champagne

An exclusive Petite Champagne blend of well matured eaux-de-vie from the house of Mestreau. The Cognac mestreau XO Petite Champagne is a real treat. With its components aged for at least 10 years, expect rich and powerful flavors that will leave your taste-buds tingling with appreciation. A true emblem of its region renowned for its chalky land content and therefore exceptional eaux-de-vie production.

Standing proud as an XO Cognac, it is sure to be admired by Cognac connoisseurs and well-acquainted brandy drinkers alike.

The house of Mestreau would have remained a footnote in history, if it wasn’t for Guilhem Grosperrin, the director of Grosperrin Cognac and an avid collector of old and rare spirits. Guilhem snagged a small, and extremely rare, collection of Mestreau bottlings from the 19th century, which allowed him to profile the company’s spirit and resurrect the brand using modern eaux-de-vie that matched the Mestreau identity.

At present, Mestreau is the smaller brand of Grosperrin; whose team works with more than 150 local Cognac businesses spread across all six of the Cognac growing areas. In total Grosperrin has contact with almost 4,300 farms which make up the rich and diverse grapes of the Cognac region. With years of buying and selling expertise under their belt, the house of Grosperrin are able to source the finest eaux-de-vie the region has to offer. This is done all in the hope of achieving their ultimate ambition of achieving the most perfect expression of the terroir.
