Tasting notes
This "Extra" Cognac is rich and complex. Its « rancio » is marked by notes of candied fruit and chocolate. Its mouth is fresh and flowery and reveals a honeysuckle and jasmin scent. A Spicy finish with nutmeg and cinnamon
What does Extra mean in Cognac?
Extra belongs among the highest ageing mentions, on the same regulatory level as XO: at least ten years for the youngest eau-de-vie.
Why mention rancio?
Rancio marks long ageing: candied fruit, chocolate, spice and woody depth. In this Léopold Croizet Extra, white flowers keep it fresh.
When should it be served?
Keep it for neat tasting after a meal, or with a spiced dessert. Nutmeg, cinnamon and chocolate echo it well.

Golden amber/orange
Rich and complex, revealing notes of candied and dried fruits. The first hints of « rancio » are revealed. (Woodland undergrowth).
Excellent fullness on tasting. Subtle floral fragrances combine jasmine and honeysuckle. Over decades the distinct « aged » woody oak notes develop. A lovely balance between fruits and a spicy finish, marked by hints (notes) of nuts and dried fruits.
