| Cognac Tesseron The greatest collection of old eau de vie on earth. Tesseron Lot 29 is the only cognac ever to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker |
Cognac Tesseron is one of the great secrets of Cognac. Abel Tesseron created the company in 1905, relying at
the time on two separate estates, one situated in the Grande Champagne area (Boneuil) and the other in Petite
Champagne (Saint-Surin). He adopted a long term policy of buying up stocks of the oldest and finest eaux-de-vie,
carefully conserved in a twelfth century crypt. Despite a very low public profile, this little known firm is today revered
in the region, as owners of the largest stocks of great old cognac in existence. In their legendary innermost cellar
or paradis, lie an incredible 2200 glass demijohns (most around 25 litres) of cognac dating from between 1825
and 1906, painstakingly built up by three generations of the Tesseron family. This treasure trove of 19th century
cognac is supplemented by hundreds of oak casks of the very finest cognac dating from the first half of the 20th
century. There is no comparable collection in Cognac or anywhere else - the Tesseron holdings are unique, and
irreplaceable.
For decades the primary business of the firm has been as wholesalers, quietly supplying the grandest marques
in Cognac with ancient eaux de vies to complete their rarest and most prestigious blends. In recent years
however, they have released very limited quantities of some particularly exceptional blends under their own name,
and it's the very best of these, the crème de la crème of the crème de la crème, which we are proud to offer here.

Tesseron Extrême, Grande Champagne, Cognac 1er Cru
£2495 per 1.75 litres demijohn
We have a very sought-after allocation of this "ultimate cognac".
This is Tesseron's ultimate cognac, not part of their standard range, and offered only very recently for the first time, on strict allocation in
minute quantities.
Some of the cognacs in this blend are 150 years old. It is so rare that even specialists only speak of it as a memory of flavours long sought
and never found. Around 60% of the cognacs in this blend date from BEFORE phylloxera, from the early 1860's to the late 1870's, and none
are later than the 1920's.
Velvety and supple on the palate, its exceptional mellowness is matched only by its infinitely complex depth. Its ‘’rancio’’ nose, the result of
long years of ageing in oak casks, is smooth and harmonious. It opens up in waves of countless secondary aromas, whose tones get
stronger and stronger, and then ends with a velvety soft finish and an extraordinarily long-lingering aftertaste.
This unique creation is presented in a small, 1.75 litre, ‘’dame-jeanne’’ demijohn, like the famous 25 litres ‘’dames-jeannes’’ from which
Tesseron has selected its oldest cognacs and finest eaux-de-vie. 1.75 litres is well over twice the capacity of a regular bottle, or 250ml more
than a regular magnum. Each demijohn is presented in a black lacquer box, with a brilliant "piano" finish.
This cognac’s availability for sale is an exceptional event, there is nothing comparable on the market, Remy's Louis XIII and Hennesy's
Richard are mere adolescents compared to this (and they both typically charge for a single bottle around what Tesseron ask for this one and
three quarter litre demijohn of far older cognac).

Tesseron Cognac Grande Champagne X.O Exception Lot No. 29
£295 per 70cl
This is regarded as the jewel of the Tesseron collection of Cognacs, and the oldest in their standard range. A unique blend of legendary eighty
to ninety year-old Grande Champagne eaux de vie, all from the 1920's, lovingly aged for three generations. Balancing power and finesse, Lot
29 has a floral bouquet, allied to chocolate and mocha notes. This is complemented by that elusive, ethereal nose which is so typical of only
the very best old cognac. This subtle elixir has an extraordinarily long aftertaste, and its lovely amber highlights reflect its very slow ageing – the
quintessence of elegance.
COMPOSITION : Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard
BLEND : Grande Champagne only
AGED: More than three generations in Limousin oak casks
COLOR : Lustrous topaz
NOSE : Heady, decadent aged nose, followed by layers of honey, figs, plums and exotic fruit laced with oak.
PALATE : Supremely elegant, this combines macerated dried fruit with hints of mocha and cocoa, refreshed by floral aromatics. Unctuous and
silky, it retains a wonderful freshness and vitality throughout. Extremely well balanced and wonderfully complex with marmalade notes
emerging on a persistent, stylish finish.
ACCOLADES
100 points, Robert Parker" "... anything this smooth, silky, potent, and aromatic, is truly great stuff. It is about as ethereal Cognac as anyone
could ever hope to drink."
Andrew Jefford [Financial Times, 2004]: "...If money is still less an object, Tesseron Lot 29 (40%) will prove just how conclusively great brandy,
like great wine, can absorb, modulate and reflect a kind of mineral beauty in the midst of all its other, more freshly sensual attractions: layered
amid the fig, the beech leaf and the cream there's a kind of stony fire that glows for 30 seconds after you've swallowed ..."
Nicholas Faith [Decanter]: "...a marvellous balance of richness and dryness, a hint of orange peel, while retaining a wonderful florality on the
palate. So pure, it is almost refreshing"

A note on pricing:
Tesseron choose traditional and classically elegant packaging for their cognacs, eschewing the kitschy gilt and cut glass "bling" so favoured
today by most of the grande marques. As a consequence of this, their wholesaler heritage, and the fact that they have actually owned these
cognacs for generations, rather than simply bought them in to meet demand as most of the big brands do - their pricing is not just
competitive, but astonishingly good. This same level of cognac would cost - at least - two or three times the price if sold by Remy Martin,
Hennesy, Courvoissier etc.
