Claude Chatelier Extra XO Extra Fine Cognac 40% Vol. 0,7l

Claude Chatelier Extra XO Extra Fine Cognac (40% ABV) is an expressive XO Cognac from the French Charente region, produced by Maison Ferrand; it owes its remarkable depth to an exceptionally long period of cask maturation. The *eaux-de-vie* used are aged for at least 22 years, initially in new Limousin oak casks and subsequently in older ones. This transition allows the intense influence of fresh oak to integrate harmoniously into the Cognac as it matures. Over this extended aging period, notes of fruit and vanilla are complemented by spicy wood tones and the *rancio* nuances characteristic of long-aged Cognacs. Consequently, the Claude Chatelier Extra XO presents itself as significantly more mature and complex than younger Cognac varieties.

Bottled at 40% ABV, Claude Chatelier Extra Fine Cognac combines robust cask-aged character with a smooth, velvety texture. Dried fruits, honey, and roasted almonds meet vanilla and tobacco, while caramel, prune, and orange zest add further depth. Cinnamon and fine oak notes accompany the long-lasting finish of this mature bottling. The combination of long-term maturation in Limousin oak casks, traditional Cognac production methods, and Maison Ferrand’s expertise makes this French XO Cognac a compelling choice for enthusiasts of mature, wood-forward spirits. The 0.7-liter bottle is ideal for savoring neat and for occasions calling for a classic Cognac with a pronounced, mature flavor profile.
