Overview

Crafted in Jonzac, north of Bordeaux, Prince de Didionne Cognac has its roots in 1847 when the original Cognac trade house was founded by Jules Gautret. A century later it was bought by the Coopérative des Viticulteurs Charentais. In the 1970s the company's name was changed to Unicognac that currently operates under the first cooperative group in the Cognac region ― Ocealia. All of the bottling and packaging takes place at a state-of-the-art facility close to Jonzac.

Approximately 500 Charentais winegrowers rely on Unicognac's swan-neck Charentais pot stills. The winegrowers supply the wines, Unicognac takes care of the distillation as well as aging in their vast cellars. In the end, the maître de chai blends the eaux-de-vie into premium expressions. This lowers the production and marketing costs for the winegrowers, while Unicognac has a steady supply of blended cognac that can rival the bigger Cognac houses, currently holding the largest stock of XO brandies in the Cognac region.

Prince de Didonne XO Cognac is made in the Jonzac region of France using Ugni Blanc grapes that come from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Double-distilled and aged in Limousin & Troncais oak, the final blend is created by the master blender by carefully selecting cognacs that are at least 25 years of age, crafting this masterful and expressive spirit. The cognac comes in a luxurious cut crystal decanter.

Tasting notes

The beautiful deep amber cognac with gold highlights opens with subtle aromas of fruit and oak, followed by hints of vanilla. It's expressive on the palate, both full-bodied and delicate with the complex fruit and wood notes lingering through the finish.
