Conte et Filles XXO Petite Champagne Cognac
Discover the magnificent artistry of small-batch, independent French spirits with the Conte et Filles XXO Petite Champagne Cognac. Handcrafted by sisters Blandine and Anne-Laure Conte—the dynamic dynamic duo behind this estate—this rare XXO (Extra Extra Old) expression is an absolute masterclass in purity. While the major Cognac houses rely on massive industrial blends, the Conte sisters focus on single-estate estate precision, using 100% Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from a highly coveted, south-facing limestone hillside plot in Nonaville.
This exceptional XXO is a carefully curated blend where the youngest components have quietly matured for at least 14 years in seasoned red oak barrels (fûts roux). By choosing old, neutral oak, the sisters allow the vibrant, orchard-fruit flavors of the Petite Champagne terroir to take center stage. To ensure the ultimate luxury tasting experience, this liquid is completely unadulterated: zero added sugar, zero added caramel coloring, and completely non-chill filtered.

Tasting Notes: A Luxurious, Buttery Feast
The lack of heavy char or wood additives leaves a strikingly pale, golden-amber hue in the glass, paving the way for an unbelievably clean, dessert-forward profile:
-
Aroma: A bouquet of intense aromatic finesse. It opens with an incredibly comforting scent reminiscent of a fresh, warm French mirabelle plum pie. Hidden notes of roasted stone fruits, sweet ginger, orange blossom, and a distinctly rich, buttery pastry undertone drift forward with time in the glass.
-
Palate: The arrival is wonderfully soft, creamy, and undeniably luxurious. Rich flavors of ripe yellow plums, stewed pear, and banana purée meld together with a velvety, mouth-coating buttery texture.
-
Finish: Long, elegant, and perfectly structured. Mild winter spices, a touch of cedar wood, and light citrus zest create a dry, deeply satisfying aftermath that keeps you coming back for another sip.
