MART COUXO
Consistently recognised as one of the finest XOs in the world, Courvoisier XO Imperial is a very old blend of fine and well-matured cognacs from the exclusive Grande Champagne cru, along with selected aged spirit from the Petite Champagne and distinguished Borderies crus. The perfect balance of intense flavours have been patiently evolved and nurtured for at least two decades. "Exotic vanilla and cocoa bouquets, spicy amber and cinnamon aromas, and violet floral notes all come together to excite the senses." Patrice Pinet, Master Blenderon. Aroma accounts for around 75% of what we taste, so we take great care to nurture complex aromas throughout our process. Our Le Nez de Courvoisier programme highlights three signature aromas for each of our cognacs and traces them back to specific moments in the process. Candied orange Through the natural interaction of long maturation in our fine-grained oak casks, the Grande Champagne and Borderies cognacs give delicate sweet notes of candied orange. Crème brûlée When a cask is toasted, it gives off an aroma of fresh bread as the flames caramelise the natural sugars in the oak. This gives younger cognacs obvious notes of vanilla and caramel, but gradually, over decades, these intense flavours soften to give us a delicate crème brûlée flavour. Iris flower From very well-matured cognac from the Borderies cru, an iris flower flavour is amplified through maturation in our humid warehouses situated next to the Charente River and under the warm Cognac sun. Neat: The rich and exotic aromas in Courvoisier XO Imperial have taken decades to perfect, so its worth taking your time over such a remarkable cognac. Conventional wisdom says that cognac should be warmed, but we recommend simply serving at room temperature before serving. Dont swirl for the first nosing; otherwise the cognac releases alcoholic aromas that overpower its more delicate scents. Thereafter, however, you might like to swirl between subsequent nosings to help release further aromas. But do it very gently for only a few moments. Food pairings: The full potential of Courvoisier XO Imperial can be realised by complementing it with the right food. Ideal after dinner, its depth and harmony come into their own when accompanied with rich desserts, like crème brûlée and café gourmand.
