Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinguished French XO Cognac presents a rich amber colour with deep mahogany depth and brilliant clarity, displaying the exceptional quality characteristic of DEAU XO — a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced predominantly from the Petite Champagne and Fins Bois sub-regions, aged in Limousin oak barrels in the historic cellars of Les Moisans, the family estate that has been home to DEAU Cognac since 1685.
Aroma
The nose is refined, elegant and immediately captivating, with aromas of jasmine, violet, candied fruit, prune and cinnamon creating a beautifully layered and expressive aromatic profile of genuine complexity and distinction. The bouquet reflects the fine quality of Fins Bois and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie at their most elegant — a nose of outstanding fragrance and refined French Cognac character that rewards slow, contemplative appreciation.
Palate
Oaky and floral notes blend harmoniously on the palate, delivering a full-bodied, richly textured and well-balanced flavour profile of exceptional depth and elegance. The finish is long, warm and deeply satisfying — a XO Cognac of outstanding refinement and genuine distinction that speaks eloquently of DEAU’s centuries of distillation expertise and the exceptional quality of the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne terroir.
Pairs With
This exceptional DEAU XO Cognac is a natural companion to dark chocolate, candied fruit, prune and cinnamon desserts, aged Comté, foie gras, or enjoyed neat in a tulip glass as a contemplative digestif, making it the perfect gift for Cognac connoisseurs and a genuine expression of French distillation heritage since 1685.
