GASTON DE CASTELJAC COGNAC XO

  • Ageing Aged over 10 years in oak casks
  • Cask Oak cask

From the Grande Champagne, this XO by Gaston de Casteljac has aged at length in oak casks according to the classical method inherited from the eighteenth century: slow distillation, unfiltered, to preserve the full richness of the eau-de-vie. Its light amber colour introduces a powerful nose where cinnamon gives way to prune. On the palate, the texture is rich and rounded, displaying fine complexity, carried by notes of clove with subtle red fruit to add nuance. A Cognac of real character, at 40%, conceived for unhurried sipping, neat or after dinner, expressing the artisanal expertise of the house.
