Tasting Notes

Composition is this producer’s first non-XO release, yet even here Tesseron have aimed to make something very special for its level. It pours a bright, light amber colour and offers aromatics of spiced autumn fruit, white flowers and fresh plum, while on the palate there is that classic Tesseron texture and vinous, fruity complexity ensuring this Cognac’s sipping credentials.

Appearance: Deep amber with golden hues. 

Nose: Elegant and floral, with notes of dried apricots, vanilla, and delicate spice, accompanied by hints of honey and toasted oak. 

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, featuring flavours of caramelized pear, baking spices, and a touch of almond, with refined oak influence. Finish: Long and harmonious, with lingering fruit and warm spice. 

Overall: A refined yet approachable blend of eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne, showcasing balance and sophistication.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Tesseron Composition is a Fine Champagne Cognac created by Alfred Tesseron and Master Blender Romain Martial, drawing on eaux-de-vie from both the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne premier crus — the two finest terroirs of the Cognac appellation. The Fine Champagne designation requires a minimum 50% of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne. The blend draws on cognacs aged four to ten years, distilled on the lees in Charentais copper pot stills and aged in Limousin oak, presenting a lighter, more approachable expression than the XO Lot range. The Composition is intended to express the Tesseron house style in a younger, more immediate format. Bottled at 40% ABV.

Provenance

Maison Tesseron is a family Cognac estate based in the Grande Champagne — the premier cru of the Cognac appellation — whose history of vineyard ownership in the region dates to the nineteenth century. The house is now in its fourth generation of family ownership, led by Alfred and Gérard Tesseron, with Romain Martial serving as Master Blender. Tesseron's range is produced exclusively from Grande Champagne and Fine Champagne (Grande and Petite Champagne) grapes, all aged in French Limousin oak barrels for extended periods. The house's four 'Lot' expressions are each named for the internal lot number under which the blend was first catalogued — a private practice maintained across four generations.

About this Spirits

Cognac

A grape brandy from the Cognac region of France, double-distilled and aged in oak for a smooth, refined character.

Cognac

Cognac is named after the town of Cognac in France and is a variety of brandy. It is produced in the wine-growing region surrounding the town from which it takes its name. Ugni Blanc, which is known locally as Saint-Emilion, is the one most commonly used grape to produce Cognac. The region is divided in to six zones, Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Bordeies, Fins Bois, Bon Bois and lastly Bois Ordinaire, not to be confused with Champagne, the premier sparkling wine region in north east France.

Strict guidelines must be followed for a distilled brandy to be legally labelled as a Cognac by the Appellation d’origine contrôlée. Only specific grapes are allowed to be used, of which Ugni Blanc is the most common. The brandy must be distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of 24 months in French oak barrels from Limousis or Tronçais.

Blending is very common in Cognacs, and the age is derived from the age of the youngest grapes used in the blend. Cognacs develop and age in a similar way to Scotch Whiskies, though most Cognacs can age much longer than the legal requirement due to the time spent in the French oak barrels.
