Description

Grape variety : Ugni blanc.

Growth area : Petite Champagne, Fins Bois.

Rated with 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, XO Solstice blends beautifully aged eaux-de-vie selected from the Fins Bois and Petite Champagne regions - and serves like liquid gold in the glass.

“The palate echoes the dried apricot note, layering it with vanilla, cinnamon, and clove with a mouthwatering finish".

Solstice refers to the passage of time and the changing of seasons, it's the rituals that accompany cultivating the land and the vineyard that should be celebrated in adoration of nature’s beauty and the transformations at work throughout the process of producing of Cognac.

Unlike bigger brands, Distillerie du Peyrat opts to do things differently, turning their back on traditional methods of distillation and developing their own trademark "fatty distillation process," which offers a rounded mouthfeel with a pleasing "natural suppleness" to their eaux-de-vie. The nearby neighbouring river provides a useful humidity to the estate's cellars, which proves essential in the maturation process to adding a level of finesse that other brands may never achieve.

Tasting Notes :

Eye : Glowing amber.

Nose : Rich and spicy, the nose offers citrus and vanilla notes.

Palate : The mouth is round with aromas of almond pastries and dried fruits.

Meanwhile, the finish reveals woody nuances with hints of mocha and roasted coffee.
