Tesseron tasting notes: "Very fresh pear & quince notes at first, giving way to herbaceous elements - dried fruits and nuts. Fresh, with intriguing hints of almond."

Tasting review
Tasting notes by Tesseron:
COLOR: Lustrous topaz
NOSE: Heady, decadent, layers of honey, figs, plums & exotic fruit laced with oak. Unctuous, silky, it retains freshness & vitality throughout
PALATE : Supremely elegant, combining dried fruit with hints of mocha & cocoa, refreshed by floral aromatics. Extremely well balanced & complex with marmalade notes emerging on a persistent, stylish finish
Description
The Tesseron Lot No 29 Exception is truly worthy of its name. A unique blend of Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, this cognac has been lovingly aged for at least three generations. It's floral bouquet delights, bringing to mind mocha and notes of chocolate. And, naturally, you get to enjoy exceptional rank - a phenomena only associated with truly old cognac.
The decanter is simple, yet stunning, and comes to you secure in a presentation box. If you're looking for a top quality, rare jewel of a cognac, then your search has come to fruition. Definitely one for the connoisseur.

About Tesseron Cognac
Cognac Tesseron specializes, as this slogan suggests, in high-end cognacs. As their marketing slogan suggests, they only produce “XO and Beyond”, so cognacs from the XO age onwards. From their ancestral home Domaine Tesseron in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, which lies between Cognac and Angoulême, the Tesseron family traditionally used to sell its eaux-de-vie to the large cognac houses. But in 2003 they decided to release a range under their own family name. The Tesserons are also active in wine production, owning Château Pontet-Canet – a Pauillac classified property producing Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux wine.

Tasting notes by Andreas Larson (Best Sommelier 2007): "A very nice body on the nose, rather light and elegant, some nuts, some brown sugar, and black chocolate. On the palate a good depth, balanced, a very long after taste."
