Containing a mix of eaux-de-vie made from Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes, it has been left to age for ten years in traditional, high quality French Quercus Sessiliflora (Tronçais) oak barrels, which gives the Cognac its distinct amber color. The barrels are stored in one of the Logis d'Angeac's 7 cellars, which are either warm or dry, producing the optimum atmosphere and humidity for the masterful maturation process. The blend is in fact an XO, but marketed as a "1er Cru de Cognac" thanks to its Grande Champagne appellation, the most revered terroir in the region. It boasts a lively and expressive flavor profile of fresh fruit, flowers and vanilla and an excellent depth of character, which comes as no surprise for a Maison Ferrand masterpiece.
