Description from the seller
A fine Petite Champagne XO Cognac
The name 'Chateau de Montifaud' traces its history back six generations, and for good reason. The Chateau de Montifaud Majestic XO lives up to its name, offering a glimpse into the oldest *eaux-de-vie* held in the 'Paradise Cellar' of their estate in Jarnac. The blend is artisanal in every respect, crafted with precision from a selection of the finest *eaux-de-vie* from the Petite Champagne *cru*.
As an Extra Old (XO) Cognac, it has been aged for at least six years in accordance with French regulations. However, Montifaud is renowned for aging its spirits far longer than the minimum requirement. Following an initial period of artisanal distillation, the spirit is aged in red Limousin oak barrels and subsequently in older French oak casks within their cellars. They make optimal use of a cool, dry environment to create this exquisite Majestic XO Cognac.
The Petite Champagne region is highly prized thanks to the unique chalk content of its subsoil and its calcareous earth, which yield exceptionally fine *eaux-de-vie*. The Ugni Blanc grapes come from the Montifaud vineyard, which has been owned by the Valley family since 1837. The flat terrain, optimal sunlight, and soil acidity combine to make the Montifaud Majestic Extra Old Cognac something truly special and delightful. The region also benefits from a maritime climate, ensuring moderate conditions. Its length and finish are everything one would expect from a truly fine Petite Champagne Cognac.
