A name from the past and that of an old family almost always linked to the history of Cognac, some of whose roots lie in Saintes.
Founded in 1878 by Auguste Edmond Audry in Cognac, Maison Audry produces Cognacs of incomparable quality, appreciated by connoisseurs the world over. With a heritage rich in know-how, the company has distinguished itself through its mastery of double Charentaise distillation and the meticulousness of its blends, building a reputation that today extends beyond borders.

The Cognac XO from Maison Audry is the result of a careful blend of Petite and Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie aged between 18 and 20 years.

This Cognac was briefly aged in new barrels at the start of its ageing process, before being transferred to old barrels in damp cellars, where the roundness develops and the rancio notes are accentuated.
