Jean Cavé presents its XO Prestige in a decanter, with tasting notes published by the house itself. The robe is amber with copper highlights, clear and bright.

This blend, aged in old oak casks according to the house, is bottled at 40% vol. It pairs beautifully with the end of a celebratory meal, a coffee or a chocolate dessert.
