The Tesseron family made its name as buyers and keepers of old stock rather than as a commercial house, and Lot 29 is the cornerstone of the collection: a blend built on distillations begun in the 1920s, with a proportion from 1905 and 1906, aged in cask across three generations of the family. Unusually for a modern cognac, the blend includes some Colombard and Folle Blanche alongside the standard Ugni Blanc; both were widely planted before phylloxera and are now rarities. Long cask ageing in a damp cellar is what produces the rancio character these old lots are prized for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady to drink and stable in bottle for years once opened. Serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, after dinner or with dark chocolate and walnuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
