Jean Fillioux Cep d'Or XO Selection Grande Champagne Cognac is a refined, rich and luxurious Cognac aged for a minimum of twelve years on the Domaine de la Pouyade estate. Five generations of family know-how and Cognac craftsmanship have gone into this stunning selection, containing exclusively premier cru eaux-de-vie from the iconic Grande Champagne terroir.
Jean Fillioux is an independent house currently ran by a father-and-son team, Pascal and Christophe. Every step in the creative process is surveyed by Christophe himself, who quality controls every single aspect of the Cognac's production, from harvesting the Ugni Blanc grapes on the 63-acre estate through to bottling the beautifully blended Cognacs, ready to be enjoyed by discerning drinkers across the planet. His father, Pascal, has been labeled as the "Magician of Aromas" by many others in the region.
Pascal's attention to detail is obvious with the Cep d'Or XO Selection, which boasts a wonderful floral bouquet that can only be achieved by using Grande Champagne-grown grapes.
This exquisite XO earned the title ‘Best of 2017’ with a score of 94 points awarded by Wine Enthusiast magazine and comes ‘Highly Recommended' earning 96 points back in 2013. The Cognac was described as ‘enticing and dessert-like’ with notes of cocoa and pecan pie, hints of apple and a zing of ginger, making it the most delightful digestif for your dinner party guests.

Rich and luxurious, this 12-year-old "Tres Vielle" Cognac offers deep toffee and hazelnut flavors, before tapering off to a cocoa and espresso-inflected finish. It's a well-structured brandy that puts you in mind of a leather club chair-you just want to close your eyes and sink into it.
