Courvoisier X.O. Imperial Grande Champagne Cognac Review
Where many X.O. bottlings bowl you over with bold dried fruit notes and heavy oak influence, this is a wonderful example of refinement and restraint. The subtle nuance of its aromas shines, with a mix of dried and fresh stone fruits meeting vanilla and cracked pepper on the nose. The palate delivers endless depth but still lands with a soft touch.
