Product description
The history of Maison Meukow dates back to the mid-19th century. In 1850, the Russian Tsar Alexander II sent two brothers, Auguste-Christophe and Gustav Meukow from Silesia to France with a mission to secure supplies of cognac to the Tsar's court.
The brothers made several journeys, and then on August 1, 1862, they opened a sales office in the city of Cognac, AC Meukow & Co. Since 1979, the company has been part of the private company Compagnie de Guyenne, founded in 1969 by Michel Coste. Since 1993, Meukow cognacs have been presented in a unique "cat" bottle, decorated with the image of a panther and undoubtedly catching the eye of a potential buyer. The Meukow XO presented here is a blend of eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Fins Bois and Bons Bois growing regions. This cognac was awarded a gold medal at the "Cognac Masters" competition in 2013.
