Vallein Tercinier Liaison Intime Cognac

Vallein Tercinier Liaison Intime Cognac

The Vallein Tercinier Liaison Intime Cognac is a special blend that beautifully unites two distinct Fins Bois eaux-de-vie, resulting in a Cognac that is both harmonious and complex. Crafted from 100% Ugni Blanc grapes and distilled with lees in traditional 15-hectoliter alambics, this Cognac reflects Vallein Tercinier’s deep heritage and expert craftsmanship. The maturation process occurs in both humid and dry cellars, allowing the spirit to develop a layered and refined character over time.

This unique creation is a marriage of two rare components: one half is a Fins Bois Lot 75, unreleased until now, while the other half is from the Très Vieux Fins Bois used in Vallein Tercinier's Small Batch 46, which has been aging for nearly 40 years. With its natural color preserved and no additives used, this Cognac showcases the true essence of its terroir. As described by Guillaume Tercinier, “Liaison Intime brings together two Cognacs, timid in their individual aging, but united, they reveal the sweet and delicate fragrance of their land.”

With an ABV of 45%, Liaison Intime offers a fresh, chiseled palate that is both accessible and full of depth. It is a testament to the Vallein Tercinier family’s commitment to producing high-quality, traditional Cognacs since the house was founded in 1850. Now in its sixth generation, led by maître de chai Foucauld de Menditte, the estate spans 30 hectares in the Fins Bois and Bons Bois crus.
