Briottet 1er Cru XO Grande Champagne Cognac
The Briottet 1er Cru XO Grande Champagne Cognac is the pinnacle of finesse and aging mastery, crafted from Ugni-Blanc grapes cultivated in the legendary “golden triangle” of Grande Champagne—the finest cru in the Cognac region, renowned for its chalk-rich soils and unparalleled elegance. Distilled twice in traditional Charentais copper stills, the spirit develops remarkable clarity and depth before resting for decades in Limousin oak barrels.
This XO, or “Extra Old,” is a meticulously composed blend of eaux-de-vie, the youngest of which has matured for an extraordinary 25 years. Such prolonged aging yields a Cognac of profound complexity and noble character. On the nose, it entices with an intricate bouquet of marmalade, pear, quince, banana, citrus zest, and a whisper of vintage port. The palate is both powerful and harmonious, layering orchard fruits with velvety textures and unfolding into a finish of elegant oak, exotic passion fruit, and hints of mango.
