Vallein Tercinier XO Roots (70cl, 44%)

Vallein Tercinier XO Roots is a cognac blended from cognacs of different ages from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois. Every component matured for at least ten years in oak casks. It is bottled at 44% without chill filtration and without colouring, and comes in a gift box. The blend honours the family roots and the tradition of combining matured distillates into a shared expression. Vallein Tercinier was founded around 1850 by Georges Vallein, and the knowledge of assembling and maturing cognacs has been passed down through five generations. On the nose there are delicate notes of orange peel and nuts. The palate brings vanilla, cinnamon and brioche in a pastry-like impression. The finish is long and soft, with a light menthol note.
