Cognac Esprit Organic – Transmission XO (ECO) 75 cl. 40%

X.O. Transmission is a complex cognac, floral but still with lots of fruit, although with darker notes and lots of spice at the end. A cognac that should be enjoyed as it is, to get all the wonderful notes of Cru Fins Bois with lots of caramelized fruit and warm spices at the end, with a bite of rancio.

More than twenty years ago, Fanny and Leopold Croizet set themselves the goal of producing organic cognac from their 30 hectares of fields in the Cru des Fins Bois. All the fields that belong to their property have been converted, so that they are now grown purely organically with the three grape varieties; Folle Blanche, Colombard and Ugni Blanc. Their philosophy is to let nature speak and grow the best grapes in collaboration with it.
Production is small and everything is made by hand by Fanny and Leopold. Fanny represents the house and comes from Cognac, where her father taught her all about the special Eau de Vie from the area. She has inherited her nose for aging from the family and helps to give the fine expression in the various cognacs. Leopold is the 10th generation working at the winery, and this legacy gives him both experience and plenty of know-how. Together they form a fantastic family house that grows organically in Cognac – which is extremely rare.

The two variants we have taken home are a V.S.O.P. Conviction and an X.O. Transmission. With Conviction, Fanny and Leopold were convinced that it was the right decision to go the eco way. With Transmission, they found that their products were better organic than conventional. The transmission was complete.
