Contemporary Art
The concept of Braastad XO Contemporary Art is challenging Nordic artists to create a visual expression of what inspires them from the world of cognac.
We invited artist Magne Furuholmen and designer Henrik Haugan from Snøhetta to collaborate with our Master Blender Richard Braastad to create this year’s limited edition of XO. The result is a brave and beautiful bottle, containing a complex, yet round and smooth cognac. Enjoy!

Château de triac single vineyard
All the cognac in this blend comes from the vineyards of the Braastad family’s castle. The blend has matured in very old oak casks, mostly from the Tronçais forest.
A cognac from the limestone-rich soil of the Château’s vineyards on the border to Grande Champagne, develops floral tones when aged for a long time. This cognac is pure and natural with very light oak aromas due to the aging in old casks.
