About XO Gite
XO comes from the Congac term ‘Extra Old’ and is given to the finest of Cognacs. The XO Cottage is located in the 'Champagne' region of Cognac, a small area where the very finest Cognac grapes are harvested. The XO Cottage was built in 1845 and has been home to a clog maker, carpenter and tailor. For most of its life it has formed part of a Cognac estate until mid 1900s.
Located just 7 minutes from the historic spa town of Jonzac with its thermal baths, waterpark, casino as well as Cognac tasting and set amongst hundreds of vineyards, this newly renovated holiday cottage offers the perfect place to stay.
The cottage has it's own parking and entrance and small garden with terrace and outdoor seating + BBQ. The cottage has a large flat screen TV, high speed internet, a large fridge/freezer, brand new oven and kitchen, new shower and even has a Nespresso machine.
Whether you are looking for miles of hiking paths through vineyards and beautiful countryside, want to explore the Cognac region and taste the incredible varieties, visit Bordeaux city or wineries (just an hour away), visit the coast (just 40 mins away) or simply relax in the sunshine, the XO gite has everything you need.
The gite is attached to the main residence via a garage, but has it's own entrance, garden and is very private.
Please note - The gite is located next to a working vineyard. Mid Sept-Oct when the grapes are picked there is a beautiful aroma of Cognac with some noise when the grapes are pressed.
XO Gite is part of an old Cognac House that is currently being restored.
