The Gilles Brisson estate has been family-owned and -run for four generations. Located in Châteaubernard, the cradle of the Grande Champagne appellation, two miles from the city of Cognac, the estate owns 165 acres in total, 25 of which are planted to Ugni-Blanc for Cognac production (the estate uses only their own fruit). Cyril Brisson has run the estate since 1989, having learned the arts of distillation and aging under the attentive eye of his father. In turn, Cyril’s young son Alexis is already learning from his father to keep and follow the family tradition. Their XO is aged in cask for 18-22 years (current law specifies only 10 years). This is a sipping Cognac, with dried fig and plum aromas echoed on a silky palate and with cocoa, cayenne, and clove notes on a long finish.
