Branson’s Grande Champ VSOP Cognac is a blend of Eaux-de-Vie from grapes grown in the Grand Champagne region and aged for a minimum of four years. Bright gold and bronze in colour, with a smooth aroma of melon, peach and tobacco and spicy sweet flavours of clove and vanilla. Owned by American artist and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Branson Grande Champ VSOP is a lifestyle Cognac that can be enjoyed both “In Da Club” and relaxing at home.

Drinking more like a VSOP, than a VS. Phantom has a dark golden color and a note that displays aromas of vanilla and notes of fruit. On the palate flavors of oak, apple and light citrus come through with an elegant and bold finish.

Blended by 5th generation, family run producer Cognac Raymond Ragnaud, who has been in Grande Champagne since 1860, Branson Royal is a unique, elegant and strong blend of Eaux-de-Vie from some of the best vineyards throughout the Cognac region. Fit for king, Royal balances smooth notes of oak, vanilla and spice with stronger notes of wood, herbs and a slight burn for a one-of-a-kind blend. Bright amber in color, with hints of gold. An initially oaky boutique is followed by an intense fragrance.

XO, Grande Champagne

Branson XO provides the most exquisite expression of XO Grande Champagne Cognac. Created from Eaux-de-Vie grown in the premier terroir of the region, Grande Champagne, this Cognac is aged for a minimum of 10 years, with some of the Eaux-de-Vie being 25+ years old. The Cognac is deep brown with a bronze hue. Elegant and complex, with almost no burn, floral and citrus notes balance seamlessly with hints of tobacco, honey, and chocolate that continue through an incredibly long finish.

Distiller Notes

Made from hand selected Ugni Blanc grapes grown exclusively in the 1er Cru Grande Champagne region of Cognac and then aged in French Sessile Oak Barriques, some that are decades old. Pot Still are used with some remaining from the late 1800's that results in pure elegance and one of the most exquisite XO Cognacs ever made.

Tasting Notes

An exquisite blend of aged Grande Champagne Cognacs that balances elegance, complexity and a touch of boldness. Floral notes, grilled almonds and orange zest are followed by intense fruitiness (orange zest), honey, tobacco and dark cocoa.
