It is made from a selection of eaux-de-vie from the finest regions of Cognac, blended with other high-quality ingredients. This Cognac is subtly sweet and fruity, with a rich essence that makes it a true delight to savor. It is part of a small range of products produced by Maison Ferrand, a Cognac house known for its commitment to craftsmanship and quality. The XO Extra has a deep mahogany color, with a balanced amber tone. On the nose, it has favorable oak notes, along with aromas of vanilla and dried flowers. On the palate, it is harmonious, with initial notes of plum and candied fruit, followed by hazelnut and fig flavors. Towards the end, the Rancio flavor subtly appears, accompanied by hints of leather and tobacco. This Cognac comes in a 0.7l bottle with 40% vol. alc., and it may contain colorant. Claude Chatelier aged in wooden barrels for at least ten years, which gives it its fiery color and wonderful floral scents, enhanced by honey sweetness. It has notes of Bourbon vanilla, oak, and rancio. On the palate, it is light, aromatic, with mild vanilla, pickled fruits, and intensified rancio as it ages. The distillation process involves copper pot stills with a capacity of 25 hectoliters and two burning processes.
