Cognac Tesseron Lot 53 XO Perfection 1750ml

Cognac Tesseron Lot 53 XO Perfection in 1.75-litre format is a Grande Champagne cognac drawn from stocks distilled in the 1950s.

Grande Champagne is the innermost cru of Cognac, and its deep chalk soils give Ugni Blanc the high acidity and low alcohol that make the best base wine for double distillation in copper pot stills; the resulting spirit matures slowly and rewards being left alone for decades. The Tesseron family have made a speciality of exactly that. Perfection is drawn entirely from their 1950s reserves, matured in Limousin oak casks across two generations of the family before bottling. The long time in wide-grained oak followed by slow oxidation gives the layered richness the house is known for — roasted nuts, mixed peel, raisin, dark chocolate and wild honey — along with the complex rancio notes that only genuinely old cognac develops. The texture stays pillowy despite the intensity, the spirit is fully integrated and the finish is long. This is the large-format bottling of the same blend.

Serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass, without ice. Best after a meal, with walnuts, dried figs or a strong blue cheese.
