Lot 76 is an exceptional blend of reserve stocks of Grand Champagne Cognac, matured to perfection in old casks for one generation, approximately 25-30 years. It immediately establishes its quality on the nose, which exhibits a wealth of caramelized peaches, almond and Christmas fruit flavors. This carries on magnificently through the palate, with rich, delicate flavors of nuts and dried fruits. It presents a wonderful, spicy vitality, complementing a harmonious, rounded style. 100% Ugni Blanc, exclusively from Grand Champagne. Perfect with coffee or a piece of dark chocolate (right after lunch, if you can schedule it).

The cellars at Tesseron date back to the 13th century and were once part of a crypt of a local church. Today they house one of the largest collections of old cognacs in demijohns in all of Cognac, in what is called the Paradis cellar at each Cognac house. Grapes are virtually all sourced from top two Cognac districts: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne.All of Tesseron's cognacs are aged exclusively in Limousin oak, a tough wood which has a fatter, looser grain than that of the more common Tronçais oak, thus giving more oxygen and finer tannins, as well as being better adapted to long-term maturation. The house also makes a point of aging all of its cognacs in humid rather than dry cellars, resulting in a more rounded flavor profile.
