Mauxion Grande Champagne 1988 is an exceptional Cognac that showcases the best of the famous Grande Champagne terroir. Distilled in 1988 and bottled at 56.8% alcohol, this single cask Cognac offers a pure experience, highlighting its richness and complexity.
Its fragrance reveals a delicate blend of dried apricots, honey and vanilla, with light touches of flowers and oak wood. On the palate, it is powerful and full-flavored, with notes of caramelized fruit, toasted almonds and spices, as well as a fine mineral taste typical of Grande Champagne. The finish is long and pleasant, leaving lingering sensations of dark chocolate, nutmeg and a hint of rancio.

The origins of the Mauxion family date back to 1575 with the birth of Pierre Mauxion in the village of Houlette. Today, the estate is still home to the Mauxion family after thirteen generations. Antoine Mauxion was the first in the family to produce eaux-de-vie, starting in 1743, and since then, ten generations have followed in his footsteps. Today, Mauxion Selection continues to uphold the original traditions in vineyard care and the production of high-class, quality eaux-de-vie.
Mauxion Selection offers a unique range of single-cru expressions, available in various formats. All cognacs produced by Mauxion Selection come from the prestigious terroirs of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires.
To preserve the pure flavor of their eaux-de-vie, Mauxion Selection cognacs are bottled at cask strength, with no blending or reduction, allowing the spirits to develop exceptional complexity and depth. While this meticulous selection process may result in limited quantities, it ensures a cognac of unmatched quality, every time.
