Louis Royer XO

Product Description

XO Cognac from the Louis Royer House on the bank of the Charente River. One of their prize expressions, which has won handfuls of awards for its stunningly well balanced palate which comes from the very well-aged eaux-di-vies in the mix. The emblem on the bottle comes from the Royer family tradition of bee-keeping, which dates back to Louis Royer's father and grandfather and continues at the House today.

• The Louis Royer XO Cognac is deeply coloured and blended with selected eaux-de-vies between 15 and 30 years in age.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Spiced apples, violets, cedar developing into fresh forest air. Raisins and candied ginger.

Palate: Pear, peach, cinnamon and more apples. Develops a herbal spiciness later on, softened by rosewater and honey. A little touch of cocoa here and there.

Finish: Fresh lavender, more violet petals and another chunk of dark chocolate.
