About This Spirit
Producer Notes
“Selection” owes its freshness and purity to the vivacity of our eaux-de-vie. It displays an especially attractive combination of vigour and complexity, which several ice cubes bring out perfectly. A first encounter with a great cognac. Made from the finest terroirs in Cognac-Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois — our XO Selection’s unique character comes from long ageing in oak barrels, which adds incomparable fullness.
Critical Acclaim
Eye-catching topaz/honey color; dazzling purity. the opening smells include pears apples, and soda water; additional air contact releases delicate, fruity scents of banana in brandy, cotton candy, maple, and new oak. The palate entry is light, sweet, and grapy ripe; the midpalate is chewier in texture, more honeyed in taste that the entry phase and tropical fruit-like. Finishes satiny smooth. sugary/piney sweet, and medium-long. Nice job.
Recommended.
Topaz color; unblemished clarity, I get toned down fruit notes, especially white grapes, kiwi, plus background baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) in the first whiffs; later on, more developed aromas of vanilla cream, cake frosting, pipe tobacco occur. Entry is sweet, succulent, raisiny; midpalate offers sap-like, heightened sweet tastes of honey, maple sugar, candied, granular. Recommendable but overpowering sweetness negatively affects the balance.
