Moisans XO 700ml

An XO Cognac from the Fine Champagne and Fins Bois

Impeccably crafted by the cellar master at the Moisans estate, the Cognac Moisans XO is a fine blend of rare Cognac casks from the family reserve. Selected from the finest of the Cognac terroirs, it is a fine assemblage of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois that has been aging for decades. This XO arrives in a stunning decanter that will take pride of place in any collection, and has an exceedingly long aftertaste and full complexity.

Aged exclusively in French oak casks, it has spent a minimum of 10 years resting, developing its unique aromatic potential in the humidity and darkness of the Distillery’s cellars. Distilled, aged and bottled at the Distillery, this Cognac is the most celebrated of the Cognac house.

The Moisans property is home to 12 2,500-liter Charentais stills, which are distilling the eaux-de-vie from the end of summer to March the following year. It is home to a vast reserve of Cognac to make sure that quality is always as high as possible, and that their Cognacs are aged to perfection. This hamlet in the Cognac region is made from the limestone from the surrounding soil. This limestone provides the best soil for growing vines, as the vines need to plunge deep in order to grow.

When Roland Bru acquired the property in the 1960s, he began a tradition of Cognac making that would be carried on for generations. Located near the Charente River, it is in a truly iconic spot. The family has accumulated a unique savoir-faire acquiring the property and now understand the nature of the soil in which their vines are grown.
