Bache Gabrielsen Cognac XO Classic is a Fine Champagne Cognac produced in France from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced from Grande and Petite Champagne crus. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 mL format and priced at around $109.99.
As quiet and demure a Cognac as I think I’ve ever encountered, Bache’s XO Decanter drinks beautifully today while serving as a signpost that points the way to a future where these spirits continue to age gloriously. I’m dying to check out what comes next.
