Grande Champagne – The most prestigious Cognac terroir

Cognac ABK6 XXO Grande Champagne comes from the Grande Champagne terroir, classified as the Premier Cru of the Cognac appellation.

This historic terroir is recognised worldwide for the finesse, elegance and exceptional ageing potential of its eaux-de-vie.

The soils, mainly composed of chalk, produce particularly refined eaux-de-vie, capable of developing great aromatic richness after many years of ageing.

Grande Champagne Cognacs are highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors for their ability to evolve over time and reveal aromatic profiles of remarkable depth.

XXO Cognac – A rare category among great Cognacs

The mention XXO (Extra Extra Old) refers to a prestigious Cognac category officially recognised by the National Interprofessional Bureau of Cognac (BNIC).

It corresponds to blends containing eaux-de-vie that have benefited from extended ageing, beyond the traditional requirements of the XO category.

This long maturation allows the eaux-de-vie to develop complex aromas linked to time: dried fruits, spices, woody notes, floral nuances and balsamic touches.

Cognac ABK6 Grande Champagne XXO is therefore part of the world of exceptional Cognacs intended for a contemplative tasting experience.
