Golden box, golden label, golden hued cognac that has deservedly won gold. It also helps that the famous distiller (Alexandre Gabriel) of this French elixir with the incredible pedigree also won International distiller of the year a few years ago and that he is almost single handed re-invigorating cognac sales in Europe and the U.S making it oh so fashionable again. Crafted by the Logis d'Angeac which is the Ferrand distillery located in the heart of the Grande Champagne growing Cru where the best Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes come from. This is a master class, elegant cognac of rare refinement from the most sought-after zone (appellation) in the cognac region. This beautiful Eaux-de-vie (water of life) is aged for 10 years in small Troncais oak barrels which impart very different flavours and colours to the usual Limosin oak. It is truly in a class of its own and has a price that defies belief. C'est manifique non?

floral and fruity notes resonate; rose petals, violets, summer red berries underpinned by vanilla cream.

This is a golden hued, elegant X.O. cognac with much softer tannins than usual. It is full of subtle vanilla, violet and rose aromas and flavours that gravitate to creamy apple/ pear pastries.
