Le Reviseur XO Fine Petite Champagne Single Estate Cognac

What makes Le Réviseur truly unique is its “Single Estate” philosophy. This means that every step of the production process, from the cultivation of the grapes (primarily Ugni Blanc) to the distillation, aging, blending, and bottling, all happens on their own property, the Domaine du Maine Drilhon.

This level of control ensures a consistent and authentic expression of their specific terroir. While many of the big Cognac houses blend spirits from different growers and regions, Le Réviseur’s approach is more akin to a single malt whisky or a single-vineyard wine, giving the finished product a distinctive character.

The “Petite Champagne” designation is one of the six crus of the Cognac region. It is second only to the more famous Grande Champagne, but many connoisseurs believe it offers a comparable level of quality. The region’s soil is a mix of limestone and clay over a chalky subsoil, and the eaux-de-vie produced here are known for their elegance, finesse, and a rich, floral and fruity character.
