Tasting Notes
Colour:
A luminous deep amber with copper glints - suggesting both maturity and vibrancy.
Aroma:
A rich bouquet featuring candied fig, raisin, plum, and candied orange; layered with subtle floral touches of iris and violet, supported by toasted oak and warm vanilla from barrel ageing.
Palate:
Velvety and elegant - initial sweetness of crème brûlée, caramel and vanilla gives way to dark chocolate, spiced oak, and dried fruit compote. Hints of apricot, almond, and soft nutmeg round out the experience.
Finish:
Long, warm and lingering - notes of rich toffee, roasted hazelnut, refined spice and a whisper of oak tannin. The finish invites contemplation and slow enjoyment.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass at room temperature to fully appreciate the aromas and depth.
Ideal pairings include aged cheese (like a creamy Roquefort or Comté), dark chocolate (70%+ cocoa), or a refined cigar for a luxurious moment.
For an elevated dessert session, try it alongside crêpes Suzette, toffee-drizzled nuts or baked figs.
Courvoisier XO Cognac is not just a spirit - it's a symbol of heritage, refinement and momentous occasions. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, gifting or simply treating yourself, this is a bottle that commands attention and appreciation.
A sophisticated sip for those who demand more than just flavour - they seek an experience.
