The tasting ceremony is the art of the initiated, where each gesture
extols the virtues of the cognac
Rather than a balloon glass, we select a tulip glass, the bowl
elongated to the rim, in which all the nuances of Tesseron Cognac’s
complex aroma can be captured. The liquid is poured gently to allow
its extraordinary colour to be appreciated, a deep, clear topaz with
golden highlights, the result of the distillates’ slow ageing in old
oak casks.
Then, with the glass cupped in the palm of the hand, we make a
slight rotating movement. The first aromas are released. We then
delicately inhale the precious elixir several times.
Tesseron Extrême, Grande Champagne,
Cognac 1er
Cru
It is so rare that even
specialists only speak of it as a memory of flavours long sought and
never found. Velvety and supple on the palate, its exceptional
mellowness is matched only by its infinitely complex depth. Its ‘’rancio’’
nose, the result of long years of ageing in oak casks, is smooth and
harmonious. It opens up in waves of countless secondary aromas,
whose tones get stronger and stronger, and then ends with a nice,
soft finish. Its exceptionally long-lingering taste is an
irrefutable pledge of quality.
This cognac’s
availability for sale is an exceptional event
This is the
very first time that these ancient treasures, sheltered in the peace
and privacy of our ‘’Paradis’’ cellars, have been offered for sale.
Nestling in a lacquered box, this unique creation is presented in a
small, 1.75 litre, ‘’dame-jeanne’’ demijohn, like the famous 25
litres ‘’dames-jeannes’’ from which Tesseron has selected its oldest
cognacs and finest eaux-de-vie.
