Fine Champagne Cognac at the XO Benchmark

Remy Martin holds a rare discipline in Cognac: every drop it bottles is Fine Champagne, drawn exclusively from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne — roughly 85% of XO Excellence comes from Grande Champagne, the first cru. The cellar master's XO blend assembles hundreds of eaux-de-vie aged between 10 and 37 years in Limousin oak, a span that delivers both freshness and deep structure in the glass. The result is the reference-point XO: velvety and opulent, layered with dried fruit, warm spice, and floral lift.

Tasting Notes

Late-summer fruit and jasmine on the nose, with candied orange, plum, and fig. The palate is velvety and full — juicy plum, honeyed spice, hazelnut, and cinnamon — resolving into an exceptionally long finish of dried fruit, warm spice, and lingering oak sweetness.

How to Enjoy

Serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, giving it a few minutes to breathe so the aromas open. A drop of water can soften the structure; a large ice cube suits warmer evenings. Pair with dark chocolate, dried fruits, or a fine cigar after dinner.
