A Cognac Tesseron Grande Champagne Cognac 1er Cru
Secure packaging and transport insurance
Premium Grands Crus invites you to push open the doors of the house of Cognac Tesseron in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente. A small town some thirty kilometers from Cognac to discover a family treasure: a unique collection of very large and fine Cognacs.
The origin of this treasure dates back to the 19th century. In 1905 Abel Tesseron acquired this House and began collecting Cognacs Rares and prestigious.
The tradition continues with his son Guy, then with his grandsons Alfred and Gérard, and finally with their reciprocal children today, Justine and Noé, and Mélanie and Philippine, a fourth generation.
The House of Cognac Tesseron, owns 40 hectares of vines spread over the two premier crus of the appellation, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne.
This region benefits from an oceanic climate, characterized by mild winters and moderately hot summers, which facilitates the slow ripening of the grapes. The proximity of the Charente river and the regularity of rainfall provide a humidity that is essential to the health of the vineyards and favorable to long aging in the cellars.
This family-run Maison still grows here, in addition to Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and CoLombard, autochthonous grape varieties that have become Rares.
A Cognac exclusively from the small Grande Champagne delimited area of Cognac, classified Premier Cru for its exceptional intrinsic qualities, in particular its limestone soils. It is made from 80 Cognacs all from Grande Champagne, carefully selected and set aside by Abel Tesseron at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Availability is very minimal on the order of 300 bottles.
The colour is a very dark mahogany.
Nose and palate: very harmonious palette of flavors and fragrances with fine touches of white spring flowers such as hawthorn and violet followed by hints of musk, Virginia blond tobacco, Cordou leather, with an exceptionally long finish on mochas.
A marvel in a tulip-shaped glass to capture the multiple layers of fragrance and flavor while keeping the glass in the palm of your hand. A Cognac Rare among friends.
