"San Francisco World Spirits Competition: Gold Medal, 2014 Soft, delicate and ample with a generous taste, DEAU XO reveals a marvelous balance of aromatic flavors. DEAU XO is a blend of cognacs sourced mostly from Petite Champagne and Fins Bois and aged in small Limousin oak wood barrels for 10 to 15 years. Deep amber color and mahogany nuances. Floral (jasmine, violet) and fruit aromas (dry plum, cinnamon). Refined and elegant flavors, with delicate touch of oak wood. Ample, well balanced with an extra smooth finish."
