Cognac Tesseron Lot 90 XO Ovation 700ml

Cognac Tesseron Lot 90 XO Ovation is an XO cognac drawn from three of the region's crus, with an average age of more than ten years.

The Tesseron family are long-established Cognac négociants and holders of one of the region's deepest reserves of old Grande Champagne. Ovation is the entry point to their lot-numbered range, blending eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois, the last of these adding early-maturing roundness to the firmer, slower-developing chalk-grown spirits. As is standard in the region, the base wine is made from Ugni Blanc, double-distilled in copper pot stills. The character of Ovation comes principally from long maturation in Limousin oak, a wide-grained wood that gives up its tannin and vanillin readily and lends the spirit fullness, spice and a sense of sweetness without any added sugar. The aroma runs to ripe pears, spiced apple, maple syrup and vanilla, and the palate is silky, with the spirit well integrated and a mouth-coating texture.

Serve it neat in a tulip glass at room temperature, or over a single large block of ice. It stands up well to dark chocolate, walnuts and a good cigar.
