Rémy Martin XO Excellence Cognac - #3 of Best XO Cognac Labels

Rémy Martin XO Excellence Cognac

Cognac is the result of a painstaking distillation of wine, which improves and deepens in flavor and color as it ages. The better the wine and the attention to detail during the distillation and aging periods, the better and more prized the cognac that results will be. Rémy martin XO Excellence is one such artful product. The XO in Rémy Martin XO Excellence Cognac stands for Extra Old, and this spirit, the color of cherry mahogany, bears out the connection between age and excellence. The bouquet is redolent with jasmine floral notes and fruits harvested in the mellow weeks of late summer. On the palate this cognac gracefully unfolds petals of candied oranges, cinnamon, and a delicate hint of hazelnuts around a central note of wines from the renowned Champaigne region. It lingers on the palate like the memory of a pleasant liason, the teroire of the original wine recalling the gauzy warmth, sunlight, and deep peace of of the long vinyard rows where they began.
