D'Aincourt Rare XO is… there is no other word for it… sophisticated elegance in Cognac. 
 
Vincent Norguet has lived in the Spirits business for more than 15 years. But two years ago — his passion for premium Cognac inspired him to strike out on his own to found Maison D’Aincourt. D’Aincourt wasted no time, securing an inventory of super-premium Cognacs from 20 to 70 years old from a "mysterious distillery" founded in 1848 and located in the heart of the Cognac region. 
 
They use only the best eaux-de-vie from 100% Grande Champagne cru. Cognac of this quality and age is more than rare, it is a treasure. And the standing inventory amassed by D’Aincourt is the envy of his generation. The Master Bender then operates like a perfumer whose alchemy is as much a delight for the nose as the palate. Is it your turn to get a share of this French treasure? 
 
D’Aincourt Rare XO Cognac is a delicate balance of 10 eaux-de-vie — all of it that prized Grand Champaign cru. Those the youngest Cognac in the bottle is 20 years old, but the rest of them are far older… spending up to 50 years in Limousin oak. Each bottle is a family of fine Cognac generations, and each member of that family is carefully selected for… there is no other word for it… elegance.

The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
Rare XO goes well with marinated meats, while Cognac Extra is a favorite amongst cigar aficionados. Their highest-end expression Premier Cru goes exceptionally well with a chocolate brownie, but being matured for more than 70 and even 100 years, make it a dessert in itself.
D’Aincourt’s emblem recalls the French Empire insignia worn on their military uniforms.
There are six different wine-growing areas (crus) authorized to produce Cognac - in descending order of prestige: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, and Bois Ordinaires.
The French believe it or not, aren’t actually all that fond of Cognac. They export almost 90% of their production.
There are three different qualities of Cognac recognized by law: V.S. (very special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and X.O. (Extra Old).
