The Pale & Dry XO stands out for its extended aging process in old oak barrels, which does not impart intense colors to the liquid, thus maintaining a surprisingly light and natural color. This characteristic distinguishes it from the traditionally darker cognacs and highlights the purity and authenticity of the blend.
On the nose, the XO Pale & Dry reveals a seductive bouquet of vine flowers, vanilla, and ripe fruits, with a subtle hint of honey and sweet spices. On the palate, the cognac expresses itself with elegance and complexity, offering a velvety texture that envelops the palate with flavors of candied fruit, toasted almond, and a delicate note of oak wood that lingers in the enduring finish.
Ideal as a digestif, this cognac is perfect to be savored slowly at the end of a meal, allowing the aromas to evolve and enrich the tasting experience. Its large format also makes it a prestigious gift for lovers of high-quality spirits or an excellent addition to a connoisseur's collection.

Distillation
Charente style: double distillation in a Charentais pot still (the Maison selects eaux-de-vie distilled according to this method from its suppliers).
Ageing
Long maturation in seasoned oak casks kept in the centuries-old cellars on the Charente; for some blends large foudres or demijohns (dame-jeannes) are used for further refinement. The Maison practices gradual ABV reduction before bottling and patient blending to showcase old eaux-de-vie.
