Frequently Asked Questions

What does "XO" mean in Courvoisier XO Cognac?

"XO" stands for "Extra Old," signifying that the eaux-de-vie (the distilled spirits blended to make cognac) in Courvoisier XO have been aged for a minimum of 10 years. Courvoisier XO exceeds this requirement, with its eaux-de-vie aged between 11 and 25 years, resulting in a deep and complex flavor profile.

What are the key tasting notes of Courvoisier XO Cognac?

Courvoisier XO offers a rich bouquet of flavors, including crème brûlée, candied orange, and the floral sweetness of iris flowers. These layers are complemented by a velvety texture and hints of vanilla, caramel, and spices like cinnamon and allspice.

How should I serve Courvoisier XO Cognac?

This cognac is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas. It can also be served in a tulip glass to concentrate the rich bouquet of flavors. Pairing it with fine dark chocolate, creamy cheeses, or fruit-based desserts can further enhance your experience.

Does Courvoisier XO Cognac contain any animal products or allergens?

No, Courvoisier XO is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It contains no animal products, allergens, gluten, or lactose.

How long can I keep an opened bottle of Courvoisier XO Cognac?

If stored upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or temperature fluctuations, Courvoisier XO can maintain its quality for up to a year after opening. For the best experience, consume it within this time frame to enjoy its full range of aromas and flavors.

How is Courvoisier XO Cognac made?

Courvoisier XO is crafted using Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from premium Cognac crus like Grande Champagne and Borderies. The wine is double-distilled in copper pot stills, then aged in French oak barrels to develop its complex character. The barrels are toasted to add flavors of vanilla and caramel. Finally, the Master Blender selects and blends eaux-de-vie aged between 11 and 25 years to create the signature XO profile.

Does Courvoisier XO gain quality with age once bottled?

No, cognac does not age or improve after bottling. The aging process occurs in oak barrels, and once bottled, the spirit remains the same. Proper storage ensures the quality remains intact.

What makes Courvoisier XO unique compared to other cognacs?

Courvoisier XO is renowned for its exceptional complexity, harmonious balance, and superior craftsmanship. Its eaux-de-vie come from high-quality crus and undergo extended aging (11 to 25 years), imparting rich layers of flavor. It's consistently awarded in international spirits competitions, reflecting its premium quality.

How should Courvoisier XO Cognac be stored?

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, away from temperature fluctuations or direct sunlight. Avoid laying the bottle down, as prolonged contact with the cork may degrade it.

Can Courvoisier XO Cognac be used in cocktails?

While Courvoisier XO is crafted for savoring neat, its intricate flavor profile can enhance certain premium cocktails. However, it is ideal to enjoy it straight to appreciate its depth and richness fully.
