Monnet XXO Cognac (750ml)
Monnet XXO offers an unprecedented journey into the exceptional nuances of Cognac. Produced in very small quantities, this very rare XXO represents the epitome of Monnet’s savoir-faire, with a perfect roundness associated with a stunning delicacy. XXO or “Extra Extra Old” Cognacs are a rare Cognac designation specifying a cognac that is aged for a minimum of 14 years. However, Monnet XXO is aged for a minimum of 24 years. The nose opens with notes of mahogany and cedar, followed by aromas of red berries, dominated by cherries and their pit. The whole is completed by sweet blond tobacco and subtle scents of undergrowth. The opening palate is characterized by its roundness and evolves towards an immensely rich mid-palate, accompanied with gingerbread and cinnamon. The finish is long and expressive on the palate, highlighted by sandalwood.
