Selection of eaux-de-vie from the different crus of the Cognac region (Grande/Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois), aging in Limousin oak casks and final assembly performed by the maître de chai to obtain the house’s distinctive aromatic profiles. For the "XO Rare" cuvée an aging of about 15–25 years is indicated.
Ageing
Aging in Limousin oak casks; periods vary by label (e.g. XO Rare: about 15–25 years).
