Albert de Montaubert XO 40% 0,7l

Albert de Montaubert XO comes from the Grand Champagne region. The youngest component of this cognac has been aged for 12 years in oak barrels. The aroma is slightly spicy, with a touch of pepper and cinnamon, complemented by traces of tobacco. The taste is very soft and full, dominated by notes of flowers and fruit. The finish is complex, rich and very delicate.

The story of Montaubert cognacs, named in honor of a French noble family, begins with Edmond de Montaubert, a French nobleman who gave his life fighting for the American Revolution at the Battle of Brandywine. This town in Pennsylvania was given the name “Brandywine” by the Dutch because the color of its waters resembled brandewijn , better known in English as “brandy”. This name, in a way, foreshadowed the future glory of the de Montaubert family; Edmond’s grandson Albert de Montaubert moved to the Cognac region in 1842 to pursue his passion for winemaking.

Many years later, Albert’s great-grandson Pierre Barrier had the idea to found a brand in honor of his ancestor. The Albert de Montaubert & Fils brand was founded in 2002 and celebrates the skill and ingenuity of the people who have been tending the vines in this region for over 200 years.

Albert de Montaubert cognacs have won several awards from the ISW International Spirit Awards and are well known throughout Europe, Russia, Canada, China and the United States.

All the grapes used to make Albert de Montaubert cognac are harvested from their own vineyards in the heart of the Cognac region, which have been owned by the family since 1791. This small, exclusive area, or cru, is Grande Champagne – the best of all areas.
