Appellation Grande Champagne Contrôlée XO
Blend of more than twenty eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne grapes. This blend has the particularity of including 4 single vintages named “Early Landed” as they have been aged in damp British cellars until reaching full maturity.

In this tribute to Thomas Hine, adventurous Englishman landed from England in the 18th century to discover the subtleties within cognac, there is a notably uncommon je-ne-sais-quoi. Both discreet and whimsical, tangy pear and sharp orange zest rally. Mark Darcy meets Mick Jagger.

Homage quietly arises on the limestone land of Grande Champagne where it draws both tension and minerality. A two-decades journey across the Channel will then combine geographic adventure and lifelong tradition. Under the arched vaults of damp British cellars, a recital of candied citrus awakens. With it, notes of honey and fresh hazelnuts. Single vintages gently taunt each other before finding their own harmony, sheltered in their decanter. The French way of falling under the English spell.

We use Parcelforce 48 as our standard shipping service. If you are after speedier deliveries then you can choose Parcelforce 24 or Parcelforce AM (sorry, neither of the faster services are available in the Highlands & Islands). There is no surcharge for mainland UK deliveries (including the Highlands of Scotland and the Isle of Skye) but off shore and Northern Ireland destinations incur a surcharge of £8.50 per consignment although single bottles can be sent with our Standard Service. Deliveries will be made from Monday to Friday and do not include Saturdays.

Deliveries will be charged according to the schedule below. We have attempted to cover all options where we can.

DELIVERY OPTIONS

Delivery times may be affected if there are unforeseen circumstances. Please note the availability shown for each product in the Product Details page is real-time but on rare occasions during particularly busy periods items do run out-of-stock.

For your security, the courier's paperwork must be signed, either at the recipients address or a neighbouring address in order to acknowledge receipt of the Products.

A Delivery Note detailing the Products supplied by Drambusters will be stored in one of your delivered parcel/s, and this is your proof of delivery.

If our courier attempts delivery at the delivery address, specified in the order, or as a fall-back attempts delivery with a neighbour but cannot deliver the Products, the courier will retain the Products and will leave a calling card with a Customer Services telephone number for you to call in order to arrange re-delivery. Please note that the courier company can only arrange a specific re-delivery date, and cannot arrange a specific re-delivery time.

The products will be returned to our Collection Depot if they have not been collected from the courier. For returned orders only the cost of the products ordered is refunded less the cost of returning the order.
