Chabasse XO Impérial Cognac: a Delightful Conversation Piece
To taste an expression like Chabasse XO Impérial Cognac is to sample Cognac at its peak. After being left to mature for over a decade, the eaux-de-vie within this blend combine in a way only finely aged Cognac can, perfectly incorporating an impressive bouquet with a lengthy palate. With its aromas of tobacco and dried florals combined with touches of toasted nuts, there is no mistaking the individuality and quality of this Extra Old Cognac.
Crafted from a combination of Colombard, Folle Blanche and Ugni Blanc grape eaux-de-vie, this blend utilizes a range of crus to create depth and complexity. With surprising notes like saffron, ginger and coconut emerging on the palate, this is a conversation piece that won’t disappoint.
Maison Chabasse is an independent Cognac house with a global depth; indeed, their Cognacs are renowned and enjoyed the world over. Their ancestral 17th-century estate lies in the town of Saint-Jean d’Angely, north of Cognac. Still in the hands of the Chambasse family, it’s run by Réné-Luc Chabasse, a direct descendant of the estate’s founder Jean-Baptiste Chabasse. This quirky Cognac house enjoys combining the traditional and the contemporary, both in the flavours of their releases as well as the packaging.

Featuring gold lettering on the glass and the Chabasse emblem, this is a showstopper of a bottle that can stand with pride in any Cognac collection. Of course, a striking presentation box completes the package.
