Distiller Notes
Cognac Park offers this limited edition cognac to celebrate the time-honored traditions of Lunar New Year. Park XO Grande Champagne is carefully crafted to magnify the exquisite characteristics of the Grande Champagne terroir, a famed growing region known for producing cognacs with tremendous length and complexity. This luxurious cognac is the tribute to the famous region, where the eaux-de-vie are well-suited to long periods of cask aging.
Long aging imparts a rich amber color and intense aromas of dried apricots, vanilla, and cedarwood. This cognac’s full body and
roundness on the palate will entice connoisseurs from around the world to discover the unique personality of this limited production.
Widely regarded as the finest and most complex grape-based spirit in the world, Cognac follows rigorously strict production guidelines. It is made exclusively of wine—most commonly from Ugni Blanc—from the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions surrounding the town of Cognac in southwestern France. After a second distillation in antique copper pot stills (called charentais), the spirit is transferred to French oak barrels and aged a minimum of two years (VS). Cognac is classified by both age and region (Cru). The Grande Champagne Cru and Petite Champagne Cru, both having shallow limestone soils, are the most respected.
