JEAN FILLIOUX COGNAC GRANDE CHAMPAGNE XO GRANDE RÉSERVE The Magician of aromas. Each year in October, fifth generation owner Christophe Fillioux harvests the Ugni Blanc grapes from his 63-acre vineyard, makes the wine and distills it in his classic alembic stills. After carefully selecting barrels from the cooperage, the young distillate is put to rest for two years, absorbing maximum tannins and color. The result is a scrumptious cognac offering deep aromas of vanilla, honey, cinnamon, and exotic fruits, ending with rich and spicy hot chocolate flavors.
COGNAC MONNET XO
The House of Monnet was founded in 1838. JeanGabriel Monnet, who gave the House his name in 1897 and chose as its emblem the salamander. As the House progresses toward its 200th anniversary, it is more committed than ever to the founding principles of quality, generosity, and authenticity. Monnet XO (Extra Old) cognac is slowly blended from eaux-de-vie selected primarily from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Meticulously aged in Limousin oak casks far beyond the minimum time required for the XO appellation.
COGNAC DU PEYRAT
The Pioneer of Organic Cognac. The Distillerie du Peyrat has distilled cognacs for several decades, but the family has been present as distillers in the Charentes region since 1705. After having distilled cognac for bigger, well-known brands, the owner, Jean-Francios Rault, decided to produce and market his own cognac with a rather unique specialization in the Cognac area: the production of organic cognacs.
