Description
PRODUCTION
The purpose of Rémy Martin XO cognac was to pay tribute to the pure excellence of eaux-de-vie in the Fine Champagne terroirs of the Cognac region. Cellar master Andre Giraud blended this cognac in 1981. Approximately 85% of this cognac is composed of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, which is revered in the region due to the unique limestone in the soil, and 15% from Petite Champagne. The composition results in very fine cognacs with great length and an exquisite rancio. As one of the most emblematic extra-old cognacs, it is composed of more than 400 eaux-de-vie. Such careful blending indicates a highly complex aromatic structure, which can be appreciated through many different layers. As an extra-aged cognac, some of the eaux-de-vie have been aged for more than 37 years. It is a truly smooth cognac on the palate, fruity and mellow. An epitome of XO mastery from the Fine Champagne cru.
TASTING
Appearance: Beautiful amber color with bright golden highlights.
Nose: Exceptionally smooth with a powerful yet discreet aroma. An explosion of fragrances that delights the olfactory senses. Broad spectrum of late-summer fruit aromas, combined with rich floral notes of white flowers such as jasmine.
Palate: Smooth, full-bodied and long-lasting. Opulent in flavor, XO reveals its aromas progressively throughout the tasting. Starting with plum, ripe fig and candied orange, moving to spicy notes with a touch of cinnamon and freshly crushed hazelnuts, finishing with gourmand notes of roasted cocoa beans, honey and ginger.
