Cognac Leyrat XO Elite

Wine information: The Domaine de Chez Maillard is an exceptional site producing outstanding cognacs. The vineyards have excellent chalky soils and receive above average sun due to their superb aspects ; in short, the vineyards offer the perfect terroir to produce this distinct cognac. For the past five years, owner Francis Abécassis has awakened the world to quality Fins Bois cognacs produced on his 53 hectare estate. He has not only renovated the entire estate and its vineyards, added modern stainless steel fermenting tanks and new ageing cellars but he has also ensured that the distillation is supervised by an award-winning distiller. Additionally, he has disposed of all cognacs not regarded as having the required typicity and invested in new oak - sound investments for the future of the estate’s cognacs, which have already begun to win medals and plaudits around the world. The Leyrat XO Elite is old gold in colour. The nose is more delicate than the standard XO and is dominated by floral and mature wood characteristics. The aromas develop spice notes, pepper and sandalwood as well as the typical "rancio" characteristics of walnuts and irises. The palate is complex, dense and outstandingly long.
