{"product_id":"courvoisier-xo-cognac","title":"Courvoisier XO Cognac 750 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCourvoisier XO is the Maison's finest cognac blend — a richly complex expression of selected eaux-de-vie from the unique terroir of Jarnac, presenting autumnal aromas of crème brûlée, candied orange peel, and iris flower with a long, elegant floral finish that makes it one of the most distinctive XO expressions in the category, best appreciated neat or with a single drop of water to open its subtle aromas.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXO (Extra Old) cognac must contain eaux-de-vie aged at least ten years — but Courvoisier XO draws on considerably older reserves to achieve the depth and integration that the Maison considers appropriate for its top expression. The crème brûlée character comes from the extended Limousin oak interaction with the Fins Bois and Borderies eaux-de-vie that form the core of the Courvoisier blend style — the caramelized oak notes developing over a decade or more of slow extraction. Candied orange peel reflects the oxidative character of long-aged Cognac, where the fresher fruit of the younger expressions transforms into more concentrated, confected citrus. The iris flower note is characteristic of Borderies eaux-de-vie at full maturity — the same floral character that is prominent in the VSOP becomes more ethereal and complex at XO age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crème brûlée, candied orange peel, and iris flower — the autumnal complexity of fully aged Courvoisier terroir\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate, rich, and complex — the four-cru blend at full maturity integrating over ten-plus years of Limousin oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and elegantly floral — the Courvoisier house character at its most refined and sustained\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Courvoisier, Jarnac, Charente, France (est. 1828)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e XO Cognac\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 10 years — select older reserves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cognac-brandy\"\u003eCognac at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What makes XO cognac different from VSOP?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"XO requires the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend to be aged at least 10 years vs. 4 years for VSOP.
