Why Gifted Pour recommends it
For the person who marks milestones with a slow, thoughtful pour, this XO is a gift that speaks the language of celebration without shouting. It is a blend of more than 400 eaux-de-vie drawn from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, and the Extra Old designation signals the extended aging behind its depth. In the glass it shows deep mahogany with copper glints. The nose brings dried fruit, ripe apricot, fig and roasted almond, lifted by cinnamon, vanilla and floral hints of jasmine and iris. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, with candied orange peel, honey, a touch of dark chocolate, gentle clove and ginger, and a subtle rancio note before a long, warm finish. Give it for a promotion, a retirement, a milestone birthday or an anniversary, to someone who will happily let a tulip glass breathe for a moment before sipping neat. It also rewards a few drops of water or a single large cube, so it suits both seasoned Cognac drinkers and curious newcomers.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The touch of dark chocolate on the palate and the honeyed, candied orange sweetness make a square of good dark chocolate a natural partner.
- Roasted nuts and dried figs — They echo the roasted almond, fig and dried fruit notes on the nose and the nutty undertones on the palate.
- Promotion or retirement celebration — Its long, luxurious finish and layered spice and fruit make it a bottle to open slowly when toasting a hard-earned milestone.
