Maxime Trijol Exquise Gift Set
Maxime Trijol Exquise Gift Set is the house of Maxime Trijol in miniature — four 200mL bottles of prestige cognac (VSOP, XO, Extra, and Ancestral) presented in an elegant tasting case. The eaux-de-vie are distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested across the Cognac crus and aged in fine Limousin oak barrels, developing the house signature of warm vanilla, dried stone fruit, gentle spice, and a long, smooth finish. Tasting information is engraved on the back of each bottle to guide the comparison. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A Side-by-Side Tasting of the House
The 'Exquise' was created to encapsulate the essence of Maxime Trijol in one discreetly elegant package: instead of one flagship bottle, it offers a vertical across the house's quality tiers, from the youthful vigor of the VSOP through the depth of XO and Extra to the rarity of the Ancestral cuvée. For the drinker, it's a guided flight through six generations of blending craft; for the gifter, it's one of the most complete introductions to prestige cognac available.

Tasting Notes
Across the four bottlings expect a shared house character: warm vanilla, dried stone fruit, gentle oak spice, and a long, smooth finish — with the VSOP brighter and livelier, the XO richer and more rancio, the Extra deeper and more textured, and the Ancestral the most profound of the flight.
How to Enjoy
Neat, one at a time in a cognac glass, comparing as you go — the engraved tasting notes on each bottle tell you what to look for. An ideal format for a tasting party or a serious introduction to fine cognac.
