Painturaud Frères
This exceptional XO from Painturaud Frères comes from the very heart of Grande Champagne and has been matured for over 25 years—far beyond the legal minimum. The result is a deeply expressive Cognac showcasing the house’s long family tradition and the finesse of Premier Cru terroir.
Soft spice and polished oak with melted toffee and hints of dried fruit.
Complex and full-bodied with candied fruit, caramel, and gentle warmth.
Sweet, elongated, and silky smooth, fading with honeyed spice.
HIghly recommend
On first pour the colour is deep amber and very inviting. The nose opens with subtle spice, polished oak and hints of melted toffee, then unfolds into dried fruits. On the palate it’s rich and full-bodied — candied fruit meets caramel, and the finish is long, silky and honey-spiced. A very elegant XO.
