When I was writing to Santa this year, I was in a big dilemma. I already knew that I would like to have a new unique spirit to enjoy cold evenings and pair it with my favorite chocolate. There are many offers, and my Santa has limitations only for one bottle. After tons of research and plenty reviews read, I found Tesseron family. I heard about them before, but I didn’t pay much attention to them until now. I found out that they have one of the biggest and oldest collections of “Eaux-de-vie”. The Tesseron family is growing all three traditional Cognac grape varieties Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard, which is rare because Folle Blanche and Colombard have almost disappeared in the region as they are difficult to grow but very important for a good blend. Their vineyards are in the Cognac region of Grand Champagne. There are the best grapes for this liquid gold.
Till 2001 they were selling their old “Eaux-de-vie” to other big cognac families. That is when they decided to proudly represent their house and sell their own labels. So, they are pretty much new in this business, however, with a long tradition and one of the largest collections of aged cognac reserves in the world. I think this brand has bright and successful future, and they are may be undervalued right now. One of the big pros is also that they are selling only high-end XO and beyond cognacs. Not to mention that they have some of more than 175 years old spirits.
I got Cognac into sock, now waiting for followers.
Merry Christmas
