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.
Preserved for more than three generations in the 12th-century crypt, the eaux-de-vie have aged in 2 Limousin oak barrels, and come from the family's finest Réserves of Grande Champagne.
Tasting this elixir is like going back in time: Abel and Guy Tesseron, heads and hearts at the helm, and all those officiants who worked on the future ecstasy. The big bottle is just a long wait to invent Rare.
Presented in a new, custom-made Brut oak box, the decanter is made of chiselled glass, each one numbered.
On the nose, it reveals a rich, fruity aroma balanced by great finesse, punctuated by notes of candied fruit and mocha, and sublimated by a pronounced rancio, characteristic of long decades of oak barrel ageing. On the palate, the structure is suave, smooth and unctuous, with warm, lascivious flavors. A beverage of connivance with a long finish, enhanced here and there by spicy touches.
A tasting experience that demonstrates the singular place of the Tesseron family in the great history of Cognac. The sesame of a secret Sec society, a shard of the Grail, a piece of the Sistine Chapel or Cézanne's palette. Irresistible
