Bertrand XO - Cognac XO

Description

Aged 35 years, this Cognac XO embodies the generosity and elegance of a fruity eau-de-vie, perfect for lovers of elegant, refined nectars. Its golden-brown, slightly amber color precedes a powerful, expressive nose that reveals a gourmet fragrance of stewed white fruit, subtly blended with roasted nuts and a delicate hint of vanilla. After a few moments' aeration, this XO reveals all its complexity, opening with aromas of ripe plums and mirabelles. On the palate, the attack is both supple and full, confirming the olfactory promises. Stewed plum and mirabelle plum bring a pleasant freshness to the whole, evoking the comforting flavors of a homemade plum tart. The finish is marked by subtle notes of roasted cashew, a testimony to delicate ageing that leaves plenty of room for the fruit to express itself. This Cognac is best enjoyed at a temperature of 16°C, with a variety of dishes such as roasted mushrooms, plum tart or delicately seared langoustines. It embodies a complex, balanced and accessible sweetness, ideal for both sweet and savory pairings.
