Released in 2003 in place of Remy Martin’s XO Special – this featured bottling of Remy Martin XO Excellence Special Fine Champagne exceeds its predecessor in leaps and bounds! Crafted from a blend of 300 Eaux-de-vie that have been matured between 10-37 years, this premium iteration is derived from 15% Petite Champagne and 85% Grande Champagne carefully selected from the finest regions of Cognac, France. Iconic to Remy Martin, XO Special Excellence is exceptionally smooth and rich with a refined palate denoting hints of sweet summer fig and ripe prunes. Bottled at 40% ABV, this distinguished cognac has a seemingly endless finish elegantly spiced with dark cinnamon and baked brioche cream.
