Description
The three traditional cognac grape varieties, Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard are still grown in the Tesseron estates. The Folle Blanche and the Colombard have almost disappeared from the region being delicate to cultivate and giving only a low yield. They are important though, as they provide an extra dimension to the final assembly.
We would be delighted to welcome you to make you discover the distillery and its history and the work done to develop our whiskies!
Looking forward to seeing you again at Tesseron Cognac

Push the doors of the domaine Tesseron in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente and discover a family treasure: a unique collection of the finest cognacs. The origin of this treasure dates back to the nineteenth century, when Abel Tesseron acquired this property and began collecting rare and prestigious cognacs. A tradition perpetuated by his son and grandson Alfred, who now runs the company and also owns the prestigious Château Pontet-Canet, a Pauillac vintage classified in 1855. It was in 1905 that Abel Tesseron created his own cognac company, straddling two separate estates, one located in the Grande Champagne region (Boneuil) and the other in Petite Champagne (Saint-Surin). At the time, he collected reserves of eau de vie, which he carefully preserved in a twelfth-century crypt. In addition to forging a solid reputation among a small circle of connoisseurs, these priceless treasures became very popular with the great cognac merchants, who used these quality eaux de vie to complete their blends. Today, thanks to a continuous and constantly increasing demand, the company sells more and more of its cognacs under the name of Tesseron. Tesseron cognacs have the particularity of bearing the name of "lot", a term rarely used in Charente. As Alfred Tesseron explains: "These lots are, in fact, assemblies of our best reserves." See less
