This treasure trove dates back to the nineteenth century when Abel Tesseron acquired this property and began his collection of rare and priceless cognacs. A tradition continued by his son and grandson Alfred, who runs the business today and who also owns the prestigious Château Pontet-Canet, a Pauillac Classified Growth in 1855.

Abel Tesseron created his own cognac 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 building up stocks of eaux-de-vie, carefully conserved in a twelfth century crypt.

These old and rare treasures, besides achieving a great reputation amongst a small circle of connoisseurs, have always been sought after by the big cognac merchants, assured of the fine quality of the eaux-de-vie they would use to complete their blends. Today, thanks to a continual and ever increasing demand, the company is selling more and more of its cognacs under the Tesseron Cognac name.

LOT N°90 XO OVATION: TESSERON COGNAC Lot N° 90 XO SELECTION owes its freshness and purity to the vivacity of our eaux-de-vies. It displays an especially attractive combination of vigour and complexity, which several ice cubes bring out perfectly – a first encounter with a great cognac.

Made from the finest terroirs in Cognac –Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois – Lot n°90's unique character comes from long ageing in oak barrels, which adds richness and complexity.

LOT N°76 XO TRADITION: TESSERON COGNAC LOT N° 76 XO TRADITION is an exceptional blend of reserve stocks of Grande Champagne Cognac, matured to perfection in old casks.
