On the palate, its structure is dense, ample and invades us with its wooded, toasted and spicy notes. At the end of the mouth, coffee, licorice, tobacco, fig and leather. The tannins are silky, the final is smooth and persistent.
Design: A Tribute to Our History
The pursuit of rarity has sparked a desire to reimagine the conventions of the Cognac world and the design of its traditional decanters. Drawing inspiration from the realm of high perfumery, the XXO bottle distinguishes itself with its avant-garde appearance and distinctive design: a silhouette marked by assertive lines, adorned with facets reminiscent of barrel staves. A homage to the cooperage heritage.
At the base of the bottle resides a hidden treasure: a suspended droplet designed to collect this precious elixir, bridging the connection between the cognac and its source—grapes. A common thread that enhances the visual experience of discovering XXO cognac.
An Exceptional Packaging
The XXO case symbolizes the commencement of a journey to explore the Coutanseaux experience. An immersive proposition where each of the five senses is engaged. Visually, the eye is captivated by the pristine white attire, echoing the purity of the exceptional cognacs meticulously selected by the house.
The facets of the box create an exquisite symmetry, stimulating both sight and touch. Gold accents underscore the elegance of this monochromatic exterior, cinching it at the waist, much like the arches that encircle the barrels. A reminder of how everything at Coutanseaux is interconnected: the earth and the hand of man, crafting unique tasting moments.
