The XO Gold is called as such because it only received gold medals in every single competition it entered. Minimum 20 years old, all the way to 30 years old. This cognac provides access to a single vineyard, quality “XO”, very different from the blends of the bigger brands. A very special drink to share with family and friends. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNose: Down among the flowers: touches of jasmine, and clove, combined with peach and plums. The old maturation of this Cognac has given it its vanilla aroma and this light and sweet aroma that only an old Cognac has. Palate: The outstanding point is probably the great elegance which is one of the major characteristics of the Premier Cru Grande Champagne, fully represented here by the delicacy of aromas as well as the subtlety of its palate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVoyer Extra Old Grand Cru\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrancois Voyer XO Grand Cru Cognac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an one hundred percent Grande Champagne blend that has been aged beautifully. The eaux-de-vies contained within the blend are aged for three years in younger Limousin oak casks, then are transferred to older barrels in a humid cellar to continue the aging process. Using distillation with lees, the progressive reduction with distilled water is what makes this a fine Cognac. This is a technique that goes hand in hand with Voyer refinement and expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAn XO Cognac from the Grand Champagne Cru\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFalling into the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cognac-expert.com\/xo-cognac\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExtra Old\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e age category, the assemblage of eaux-de-vie in this Cognac are aged between 10 and 25 years old.
