Description

Paul Giraud XO Sail 25 years - The Vieille Réserve or XO is often the favourite cognac of our Grande Champagne lovers, especially ladies. This cognac expresses all the fullness of the fruity aromas typical of a Grande Champagne, aged for a long time in oak barrels. To fully appreciate this cognac, take time, sit in a good chair and heat the glass with the palm of your hand. The trip to a stone fruit orchard can begin. At the beginning of the tasting, the aromas of fresh fruit at the beginning of summer - like peach or apricot - appear. As the glass warms, aromas of riper fruit, more oxidized by the sun, are revealed, such as plums, prunes and Agen prunes. These are the fruits of late summer: hot, matured, and stewed. At the end of the tasting, spices appear then the vanilla side of the oak barrel. Round and mellow, this cognac is easily savoured. Another remarkable point, the length in the mouth, so characteristic of the Grande Champagne. The combination with a chocolate dessert (such as a Black Forest or a fondant) is quite appropriate.

Paul Giraud

Paul Giraud is a long-standing family estate located in Bouteville, a small village in the heart of Grande Champagne. The family has been cultivating the land here since at least 1635, passing down both vineyard and tradition through generations. Their extensive stock of aged eaux-de-vie offers a full range of expressions for those who appreciate depth and character in their Cognac.

The estate produces only 100 percent Grande Champagne Cognac, with a focus on single vintage and single year bottlings. Heritage and Noblesse are the only exceptions, as carefully crafted blends. The vineyard spans 42 hectares, all planted with Ugni Blanc vines. Each parcel is located in Bouteville, growing on the chalky soils of Campanian and Santonian limestone that define the region's exceptional terroir.

For over 30 years, the Giraud family has quietly maintained a responsible and environmentally conscious approach to viticulture. Organic fertilisers are used in combination with traditional soil ploughing. Much of the vineyard is still harvested by hand, a method that has become increasingly rare in the Charentes. Today, only a small number of estates continue this hands-on tradition.

The result is a Cognac that speaks for itself, shaped by time, care, and a deep connection to place.
