Two of the Best XO's from Tesseron Cognac
We are excited to present you with a special offer of two of the finest XO’s from Tesseron Cognac: Lot n°53 XO Perfection & Lot n°29 Exception.
The Tesseron family – who also own Chateau Pontet-Canet & Pym Rae Estate in California – have been crafting outstanding Cognac in Grande Champagne (only!) since the 19th century. Aged in their ancient Paradis (cellar) that dates back to the Medieval times, they only produce Cognacs that are XO or older. These are not ordinary spirits, but the result of generations of skill and vision in blending such potent and complex raw material, achieving a sublime balance in these extraordinary and refined spirits.
These two Cognacs have earned rave reviews from Robert Parker, Antonio Galloni and Jeb Dunnuck, who say “truly great stuff. It is about as ethereal Cognac as anyone could ever hope to drink…The complex aromatics can fill a room…It’s a sensational Cognac.”
As Noé Tesseron, the fourth generation of the family and the current director of the estate, said in an interview we did with him last year (click on the image below): “Drink Tesseron!”

NV Tesseron Cognac Lot No 29 XO Exception (40%)
48 bottles (x70cl) @ SGD$ 600/ bottle (inc GST $654)
“The Tesseron family, who made their fortune in Cognac (but are probably best known by wine lovers as the proprietor of Pontet Canet and Lafon Rochet) released tiny quantities of single vintage Cognacs. Although French law does not permit a vintage date to be used, this is all from 1929, and is very limited in availability. I’m not an expert on Cognac, but anything this smooth, silky, potent, and aromatic, is truly great stuff. It is about as ethereal Cognac as anyone could ever hope to drink. (Hedonist’s Gazette)”

“The Cognac X.O. Exception Lot No. 29 is a powerful, almost tannic spirit. A blast of kirsch, sweet spice, chocolate, cedar and warming alcohol races across the palate. This release is young, young, young. I admire the density, but this really does need time to settle and come into its own. Spice, tobacco, cedar, dried flowers, caramel and dried orange peel linger. The No. 29 is a Cognac that is more about aromatic nuance and structure, with fruit pushed into the background. The Lot. 29 is a blend of 75+ year-old eau de vies, Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche, all Petit Champagne.”

NV Tesseron Cognac Lot No 53 XO Perfection (40%)
48 bottles (x70cl) @ SGD$ 330/ bottle (inc GST $359.70)
“The Tesseron family (currently the proprietors of St.-Estèphe’s Lafon-Rochet and Pauillac’s Pontet-Canet) made its fortune in the Cognac business, and it is one of the few families to possess ancient stocks of great vintages that have not been diluted with water or manipulated in any manner. They released small quantities of Lot 29 (1929), which remains the most ethereal Cognac I have ever tasted. I’m no expert, but their newest release, the 1953, seems close in quality to the 1929. Slightly darker than the 1929, the 1953 is pure silk, which at this alcohol level is very dangerous indeed. The complex aromatics can fill a room. (Hedonist’s Gazette)”
98 Points Robert Parker
“The NV Cognac Lot 53 comes from Ugni Blanc and Colombard that spent more than two generations in Limousin oak casks. Its medium-gold color is followed by a beautifully complex Cognac that has lots of lavender, orange blossom, smoke, and hints of licorice. It’s impeccably balanced, has a layered, concentrated mouthfeel, and a great finish. It’s a sensational Cognac.”
