Pierre de Segonzac XO Selection des Anges 30 Year Old Cognac

Pierre de Segonzac XO Selection des Anges 30 Year Old Cognac is a mature Grande Champagne Cognac from the Ferrand family's Pierre de Segonzac estate. Aged for approximately 30 years, this XO takes its name from the "angel's share" lost naturally during maturation. It combines developed wood and early rancio character with dried fruit, floral notes, nuts, toast, and chocolate, delivering a rounded, persistent and exceptionally long expression. The producer confirms the profile, while current Pierre de Segonzac trade material identifies Selection des Anges as aged 30 years.

Food Pairing: Dark chocolate torte, roasted hazelnuts, aged Comte, dried figs, apricot tart, chocolate truffles, toasted almonds, and rich fruit cake.

Tasting Notes: Deep mahogany in appearance, with a rich, rounded and persistent profile balancing mature wood, dried fruit, floral character, nuts, toast, chocolate and the first developed notes of rancio.

Nose: Intense and expressive with fig, apricot and jasmine, followed by walnut, quince and mature woody complexity.

Palate: Rich, full-bodied and refined, developing mature fruit, spice, floral nuances, toasted character and wood with impressive complexity.

Finish: Exceptionally long and persistent, with toasted bread, chocolate, mature fruit, nuts and developed rancio lingering on the palate.

Serve: Best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped Cognac glass at room temperature, allowing the mature aromas to develop gradually.
