ABK6 XO Grande Champagne Cognac

ABK6 Cognac is a modern, family-owned house with deep roots in the Grande Champagne region, the Premier Cru of Cognac. Founded by the Abécassis family, the estate is led by Elisabeth and Francis Abécassis, who are committed to a single-estate philosophy, cultivating, distilling, and ageing all their eaux-de-vie from their own vineyards. This complete control from vine to bottle allows ABK6 to craft Cognacs of exceptional purity, character, and finesse, blending traditional savoir-faire with a sleek, modern aesthetic that appeals to a new generation of spirits enthusiasts.

The ABK6 XO Grande Champagne is a flagship expression, created exclusively from eaux-de-vie grown and distilled in Grande Champagne, Cognac’s most prestigious cru. Aged for an extended period in fine-grain French oak barrels, this XO reveals the full aromatic potential and complexity of Cognac’s finest terroir.

In the glass, it glows with a deep amber hue, showing golden highlights that speak to its maturity. The nose is complex and opulent, with rich aromas of dried apricot, fig, orange marmalade, and vanilla, layered with notes of toasted oak, baking spice, floral honey, and a subtle rancio character. On the palate, it is silky and powerful, unfolding with flavours of caramelised pear, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and spiced fruitcake, balanced by velvety tannins and a refined oak structure. The finish is long, warming, and beautifully persistent, leaving a final impression of sweet spice, dried fruit, and elegant wood smoke.

ABK6 XO Grande Champagne is a Cognac for the true connoisseur, a statement of craftsmanship and terroir. Whether enjoyed neat by the fire or alongside fine desserts and cheeses, it offers a timeless, indulgent experience that reflects the very best of what Cognac’s Premier Cru has to offer.
