The French impressionist painter Claude Monet once said: ”No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition. ” This unique Cognac blend was pictured and composed by Alfred TESSERON, 3rd generation of TESSERON, and Romain MARTIAL, our newly appointed 2nd generation TESSERON Cognac Master Blender. It all started when Alfred TESSERON challenged Romain to craft a Cognac by solely using eaux de vie distilled and aged since the beginning of his journey at TESSERON Cognac. Trained by his father for more than a decade, this blend is an expression of his performance applied to a specific assemblage and a tribute to his future work with the TESSERON family. Made solely with the two best ”cru” of Cognac, Grande and Petite Champagne (also known as ”Fine Champagne”), ”Composition” reveals a truly magnificent terroir driven taste profile. Fresh, elegant, suave and aromatic, ”Composition” is an artistic visionary work with a natural balance of strength, smoothness and all the attributes you can expect from a Cognac carefully crafted by the TESSERON family house.

| Gently push open the door of the Tesseron home in Chateauneuf-sur-Charente to discover the family treasure : a unique collection of the finest cognacs. 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 Chateau 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 name. The cognacs within the Tesseron range are specifically labelled as ’lots’, a term rarely used in Charente. As Alfred Tesseron explains : ”These ’lots’ are, in fact, blends taken from our reserve stocks. ” |
