Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a rich, dessert-leaning XO: a blend made from Ugni Blanc grapes in France's Cognac region, rested in French oak and bottled at 40% ABV. In the glass it runs deep amber, and the nose opens on dried apricot and fig with vanilla, toffee, oak and a light floral lift. The palate is velvety, built around ripe plum, honey and dark chocolate, then cinnamon and nutmeg before toasted oak. The finish is long and warming, with caramelized sugar and a touch of pepper. Maison Gautier traces its history back to 1755, and this bottling is made for slow sipping. It suits someone stepping up to their first XO who wants richness without fuss, and it holds its own for the seasoned cognac drinker looking for a dependable after-dinner pour. We carry it because it delivers the dried-fruit, chocolate and spice depth people want from an XO, and it is just as at home beside a cigar as next to a square of dark chocolate.
Pairs well with
- High-quality dark chocolate — The cognac's fruity and spicy notes complement the bittersweet richness of dark chocolate, echoing the chocolate already on its palate.
- Medium to full-bodied cigar — Its depth of dried fruit, toasted oak and pepper harmonizes with the earthy, smoky character of a fine cigar.
- After-dinner conversation with friends — The honeyed, caramelized-sugar finish makes it a natural digestif to linger over at the end of a memorable meal.
