Tesseron Cognac is a distinguished family-owned house founded in 1905 by Abel Tesseron, whose passion for rare and exceptional spirits laid the foundation for a legacy spanning over a century in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, France. Renowned for its exclusive focus on XO and beyond Cognacs, Tesseron sources its eaux-de-vie from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne terroirs, cultivating Ugni Blanc alongside rarer Folle Blanche and Colombard grapes—a nod to tradition that adds finesse and depth to its blends. Abel’s vision of patiently aging stocks in a 12th-century crypt has resulted in a legendary reserve, once sold to larger houses like Rémy Martin, until the fourth generation, led by Alfred Tesseron and his children, began bottling under the Tesseron name in 2003. Expressions like Lot No. 90 XO Ovation and Lot No. 29 XO Exception showcase a masterful balance of floral, fruity, and spicy notes, matured for decades in Limousin oak, earning Tesseron a reputation among connoisseurs for its silky texture and complexity. With a modern touch brought by Noé Tesseron since 2018, this house continues to blend heritage with innovation, crafting Cognacs that are both a tribute to its past and a toast to its future.
