Process & Profile

Prunier XO Cognac is a classic Extra Old (XO) expression from the historic House of Prunier, a family-owned cognac producer with roots dating back to the 18th century. This XO is crafted from a blend of well-aged eaux-de-vie sourced from multiple Cognac crus, selected and matured to achieve balance, depth, and elegance.

The eaux-de-vie used in Prunier XO are aged well beyond the minimum requirements for XO classification, allowing the spirit to develop complex rancio character, integrated oak influence, and layered aromatic richness. The final blend reflects Prunier’s traditional approach to cognac production, emphasizing refinement and authenticity over overt sweetness.
