GRAPES VARITETIES: Ugni Blanc and Colombard Grapes
TASTING NOTES: The wonderful, heady aromatic tang, borne of long wood ageing is immediately compelling. This gives way to hints of wood, dried fruits & tobacco - very rich and generous. On the palate, an extremely appetising cognac, opulent, rounded and yet vivacious. Pepper & spices emerge initially before revealing dark chocolate and fresh herbs. Complex, it shows supreme finesse, supple opulence and very good length.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Aperitif | Digestif | Cocktails
BRAND NAME: Tesseron Cognac
Cognac Tesseron specializes in high-end cognacs. As their marketing slogan suggests, they only produce ""XO and Beyond"", so cognacs from the XO age onwards. From their ancestral home Domaine Tesseron in Chateauneuf-sur-Charente, which lies between Cognac and Angoulême, the Tesseron family traditionally used to sell its eaux-de-vie to the large cognac houses. But in 2003 they decided to release a range under their own family name. The Tesseron's are also active in wine production, owning Chateau Pontet-Canet – a Pauillac classified property producing Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux wine.
