2011 turned out to be the hottest year in France since weather records began a century ago. One of the main features of 2011 was an exceptionally warm and dry spring and fall. April and October were the hottest months on record, with April exceeding the average by more than 4.2°C. The hot, dry weather resulted in the exceptional 2011 vintage of Petite Champagne.

Prunier XXO is a blend of two vintage Brut de Fût eaux-de-vie from Fins Bois from 1992 and 1996, resulting from aging in humid cellars. The two eaux-de-vie were stored in barrels sealed by a bailiff, which gives a total and transparent guarantee of their aging period. Limited edition of 500 numbered bottles.

Lot N° 53 XO Perfection is a blend of the most sublime stocks of Grande Champagne Cognac from Maison Tesseron. It has a sumptuous topaz colour with a bouquet of plums, figs, and chocolate on the palate. This Cognac borders on perfection, finesse and complexity.

This vintage cognac comes from a small Cognac house founded in 1930, located in the commune of Sainte Sévère which is on the border of Fins Bois and Borderies, on a clay-siliceous soil, with flint. The year 1980 is engraved in the memories of Cognac for its very small harvest, and the extreme cold that accompanied the harvest.
