One Cru, Two Decades of Patience
Most XOs blend across crus; this one doesn't. Every drop comes from Petite Champagne, the cognac region's second cru, distilled at the Distillerie de Chevanceaux and aged 10–20 years in lightly toasted Limousin oak. Non-chill filtered at a generous 43.2% ABV, it drinks the way a single-cru cognac should: mineral, elegant, and unmistakably of its place.

Tasting Notes
A fresh, buttery nose with delicate pear and floral notes and elegant minerality throughout. Deep amber in the glass; dried fruits, honey, toasted oak and vanilla on a smooth, velvety palate; long, elegant finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat at room temperature in a tulip glass — an XO of this age and strength deserves no ice. Pair with aged Comté, dark chocolate or a post-dinner conversation.
