Awards/Ratings
Part of Tesseron's La Collection Signature; widely listed by specialist retailers and praised by cognac reviewers (notably positive scores in specialist blogs/reviews). No single major international competition award broadly reported for this bottling

Tasting Note
Opulent Grande Champagne cognac — rancio, dried apricot and fig, toasted nuts, vanilla, honey and baking spices with subtle smoke and an extremely long, silky, nutty finish.

Food Pairing
Western: dark chocolate, blue cheese, foie gras, roasted duck, roasted game, toasted nuts. Asian: Peking duck, char siu (Cantonese roast pork), red-braised pork (hong shao rou), miso-glazed eggplant, spiced Szechuan dishes.

Production Method
Blend of ~100 Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, double-distilled in Charentais pot stills and aged multiple generations (tierçons) in French oak in the Tesseron Paradis cellars.

Vineyard Info
Maison Tesseron is a multigenerational family producer; Abel Tesseron assembled the historic stocks and Alfred Tesseron curates the La Collection Signature from the family Paradis cellar.
