The house's fruitiest, most delicate expression... Our XO is a blend of eaux-de-vie between 10 and 25 years old, with wintry aromas, a wonderful example of the complexity an XO can achieve. Ideal for dessert, fabulous with a cigar.
ASSEMBLY
Blend of Petite and Grande Champagne eaux de vie including at least 50% Grande Champagne.
THE DRESS
Golden amber with copper and mahogany hues.
THE NOSE
A subtle, fruity, floral and woody nose, with dominant notes of candied citrus and black cherry. Then, the typical aromas of the cellar and oak come to the fore. Fine notes of candied fruit (orange, pear, plum and cherry) and melted caramel blend wonderfully with those of licorice and oak. Finally, notes of black tea, tobacco and cigar box come through subtly.
IN THE MOUTH
Silky, denser structure, well-balanced. Quite similar in the mouth to its bouquet. Notes of black cherry and orange jam meld beautifully with those of vanilla and melted caramel, finally giving way to melted oak, toasted almonds and spices. The finish is long, with notes of spicy vanilla, melted caramel and leather.
ASSOCIATIONS
A. de Fussigny XO Fine Champagne is best enjoyed on its own, or with a drop of water for special occasions. It is the perfect accompaniment to chocolate or caramelized desserts such as crème brulée, as well as cigars.
