Château Montifaud is a sixth-generation family-owned Cognac house based in the Petite Champagne region of France. The estate controls every step of production—from vineyard management to distillation and ageing—ensuring a consistent “grower Cognac” style. Their XO Ariane expression is crafted from Ugni Blanc grapes and aged far beyond the legal XO requirement in French Limousin oak barrels, often reaching 10–30+ years of maturation for added depth and refinement.

Deep aromas of dried apricot, fig, toasted nuts and vanilla lead into a velvety palate of caramel, oak spice and cocoa. The finish is long, warming and elegantly layered with subtle fruit sweetness.
