Cognac Claude Chatelier XO Extra 40% 0,7l

Produced by Maison Ferrand in the Charente region of France, Cognac Claude Chatelier XO Extra 40% 0,7l represents a traditional approach to distillation and aging. This spirit is crafted from a precise blend of Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes harvested across the established crus of the Cognac appellation, including Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Maturation takes place in classic French Limousin oak barrels for over two decades, allowing the liquid to develop a deep mahogany hue and a complex structural profile. On the nose, it presents clear aromas of dried flowers, vanilla, and aged oak wood. The palate is characterized by distinct notes of candied plum, dark fig, and roasted hazelnut. As the tasting progresses, the prolonged aging process becomes evident through the emergence of rancio, accompanied by subtle undertones of aged leather and dry tobacco. The finish is long, dry, and elegantly restrained, reflecting its extensive time in the barrel without relying on added sweetness.
