COGNAC TESSERON LOT N°29 EXCEPTION is the rare jewel of the Tesseron collection of Cognacs. A unique blend of legendary Grande Champagne, the cream of our oldest and rarest stocks, lovingly aged for at least three generations. Balancing power and finesse, Exception 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.

This is extremely well balanced and wonderfully complex with marmalade notes emerging on a persistent, stylish finish.

Product Description

Tesseron dates back to the nineteenth century, when Abel Tesseron acquired the property to house his passion for collecting rare and priceless cognacs. Abel soon realized his ultimate dream of creating his own cognacs, and founded the Maison Abel Tesseron. There he adopted a longterm policy of building up stocks of eaux-de-vie that he carefully conserved in the twelfth century crypt. Relying on two separate estates, one situated in the Grande Champagne and the other in Petite Champagne, he distilled, aged, and blended his exceptional eaux-de-vie to make his dream a reality. This treasure trove of tradition is maintained by Abel’s descendents to this day.

Tesseron is one of the last cognac houses to still use the three Charentais grape varietals: Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard. The backbone of all great cognac, Ugni Blanc is the main variety used in all their blends. Folle Blanche and Colombard are rarer varieties, having almost disappeared from the region due to their difficult growing and low production yields. With their finesse and complexity, they add an extra dimension in the final blend.
