Maison ABECASSIS – Grande Champagne Cognac

Maison ABECASSIS is recognized for its precise work on the various Cognac crus, particularly Grande Champagne, renowned for producing fine eaux-de-vie with strong aging potential.

Its modern approach highlights expressive, structured, and elegant cognacs while respecting traditional Charentais distillation methods and oak barrel aging.

ABK6 XO Renaissance Cognac – Aging & Structure

The XO (Extra Old) category requires a minimum aging of 10 years for the youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend, although Grande Champagne XOs often significantly exceed this threshold.

ABK6 XO Renaissance benefits from extended aging in oak barrels, allowing the development of deep aromas of dried fruits, spices, and noble wood.

This long maturation brings a silky texture, controlled power, and great aromatic persistence.
