Cognac Leyrat X.O. Hors D'Âge Single Estate Cognac 40% vol. 0.7 l in a gift box

Leyrat X.O. Hors D'Âge Single Estate Cognac is a particularly high-quality, long-aged bottling from the French house of Cognac Leyrat. The Single Estate concept focuses on the origin from a single vineyard, giving the cognac a clear connection to its terroir and the producer’s distinctive style. As an X.O. Hors d’Âge Cognac, this bottling is positioned in the segment of sophisticated, matured cognacs, where extended barrel ageing and the careful selection of the eaux-de-vie are crucial. The long ageing period ensures a harmonious balance between fruit, spices and wood, whilst the structure remains supple despite its pronounced depth. The Leyrat XO Hors d’Âge is bottled at the classic 40 per cent alcohol by volume.


The designation ‘Hors d’Âge’ emphasises the exceptional maturity of this expression and complements the X.O. classification with a traditional reference to exceptionally matured eaux-de-vie. The Cognac Leyrat X.O. Hors d’Âge Single Estate thus presents itself as a complex bottling for connoisseurs seeking a mature cognac with pronounced oak character. The combination of single-estate origin, long oak barrel ageing and careful blending creates a full-bodied yet elegant style. With its silky texture and multi-layered character, the Cognac Leyrat X.O. Hors d’Âge 0.7 l is particularly suited to being savoured neat. The version presented in a gift box also makes it a high-quality gift idea for cognac connoisseurs and for special occasions.

Tasting Note

Colour: Old gold.

Nose: Spices and subtle oak open the bouquet, followed by warm acacia honey, candied orange, sweet ginger and nutmeg.

Palate: Smooth, harmonious and full-bodied with a distinctly silky texture and elegantly integrated spice.

Finish: Long-lasting and smooth with delicate notes of vanilla and brioche.

Due to its age and complex structure, the Leyrat X.O. Hors D’Âge is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at room temperature in a cognac or tulip-shaped nosing glass. Subtle culinary accompaniments include dark chocolate, candied orange peel, roasted almonds or fine brioche, which complement the individual components of the cognac. The XO can also provide an interesting contrast to mature hard cheeses. This high-quality bottling is particularly well-suited as a digestif following a multi-course meal, for quiet moments of indulgence, or as a gift for anniversaries and other special occasions.
