Le Roch XO Borderies Cognac
Le Roch XO Borderies Cognac is a distinguished offering from the lesser-known Cognac house, Le Roch, a brand under La Gabare (Jean Grosperrin). This XO Cognac is crafted exclusively from eaux-de-vie sourced from the Borderies, the smallest and one of the rarest crus in the Cognac region.
