Nose
The first nose is lively, refined, and elegant. It features a noticeable woody aroma, with a predominant floral scent reminiscent of vine and white flowers. As it opens up, this XO reveals spicy notes and a pronounced woodiness that brings out hints of vanilla, grilled, and roasted aromas.

Palate
On the palate, following a bold and lively initial impression, a perfect balance unveils smooth and refined tannins, alongside a robust structure that leans more towards floral than fruity. Vanilla notes rise, accompanied by the sweetness of apricot, pastry butter, and caramel.
A Design Inspired by the World of High Perfumery
The XO decanter captivates with its minimalist elegance, featuring a long and slender silhouette accented by a beechwood stopper, reminiscent of the cooperage heritage of the house.
Drawing inspiration from the world of perfumery, these bottles pay homage to the meticulous and skilled craftsmanship of our cellar master. Much like perfumers, he ensures the consistency and balance of the harmonious relationship between his eaux-de-vies and the selected woods.
An Exceptional Packaging
An integral part of the experience, the case serves as the initial point of contact and a crucial step in discovering Coutanseaux Aîné XO cognac. The white color reflects the purity of the exceptional cognacs curated by the house. The gold accentuates the elegance of this monochromatic exterior, cinching it at the waist, reminiscent of the hoops that encircle the aging barrels. It's a reminder of how everything at Coutanseaux is intertwined: the earth and human craftsmanship coming together to offer unique tasting moments.
