About Jean Fillioux Grande Champagne Très Vieux XO Extra Cognac
Grande Champagne Cognac is steeped in the most pristine of traditions, proudly embodying the essence of the family-owned cognac house, Jean Fillioux. Every October brings forth a carefully curated harvest of Ugni Blanc grapes from their sprawling 63-acre vineyard. These grapes are then transformed into wine and distilled using classic alembic stills before being aged for a leisurely two years to achieve maximum depth of color and tannins in the barrels of their choosing. But the true enchantment lies in the Fillioux family’s underground cellars, where the father-son duo, Pascal and Christophe, work tirelessly day and night, conducting a symphony of sensory exploration. With every breath, taste, and note taken, they finesse and blend their cognacs to perfection, coaxing out layers of complexity and aroma that can only come with time and experience. Their flagship cognac is a powerful, elegant, and noble elixir, boasting a rich nose with notes of pear jam, banana, citrus fruits, and the old port. The palate is exotic and woody, with flavors of maracuja, mango, and vanilla elevated by a medley of jammy fruit, orange marmalade, and quince. It’s the perfect dram to share over an evening-friendly get-together with your dear pals.

About Jean Fillioux
In 1880, Honoré Fillioux purchased a tiny, 20-hectare estate in the Grande Champagne region. Upon his death in 1902, Honoré Fillioux passed the estate on to his son, Jean, who eventually passed it along to his son. Today, Pascal Fillioux, the great grandson of Honoré Fillioux, continues to pay homage to his pioneering ancestors by managing every aspect of cognac production at Maison Fillioux.
Situated along the banks of the Charente River, the Cognac region of France is divided into six different crus: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bon Bois and Bois Ordinaire. The Grande Champagne cru, which comprises approximately 34,000 hectares, is known for its quiet hills and rich, chalky soil, and is considered to produce the finest cognac in the region.
About Cognac
Cognac is a type of brandy produced in the Cognac region of France.
Because the French take it very seriously, there are numerous rules cognac makers have to follow not to fall “short” into the brandy category.
The white wine from the specific grapes (Ugni blanc) has to be doubly distilled in a copper pot still before being aged for at least two years in oak casks from which the wood can only come from two specific forests in France (Limousin or Tronçais).
Depending on the age, there are three types of cognac, the youngest V.S. (Very Special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and the X.O. (Extra Old)
