100 points - Robert Parker [The Wine Advocate]
"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."

Andrew Jefford [Financial Times, 2004]:
"...If money is still less an object, Tesseron Lot 29 (40%) will prove just how conclusively great brandy, like great wine, can absorb, modulate and reflect a kind of mineral beauty in the midst of all its other, more freshly sensual attractions: layered amid the fig, the beech leaf and the cream there's a kind of stony fire that glows for 30 seconds after you've swallowed ..."

Nicholas Faith [Decanter]:
"...a marvellous balance of richness and dryness, a hint of orange peel, while retaining a wonderful florality on the palate. So pure, it is almost refreshing"


Cognac Tesseron LOT N°29 Exception is the rare jewel of the Tesseron collection of Cognacs. A unique blend of legendary Grande Champagne Cognacs, the cream of the cream of our oldest and rarest stocks, lovingly aged for at least three generations. Balancing power and finesse, Cognac Exception has a floral bouquet, allied to chocolate and mocha notes. This is complemented by that elusive, ethereal nose which is so typical of only the very best old cognac. This subtle elixir has an extraordinarily long aftertaste, and its lovely amber highlights reflect its very slow ageing – the quintessence of elegance.

COMPOSITION : Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard Grapes
BLEND : Grande Champagne
AGED: More than three generations in Limousin oak casks
TASTING NOTES:

THE COLOR : Lustrous topaz

THE NOSE : Here again we have that heady, decadent aged nose, followed by layers of honey, figs, plums and exotic fruit laced with oak. Unctuous and silky this retains a wonderful freshness and vitality throughout.

THE PALATE : Supremely elegant, this combines macerated dried fruit with hints of mocha and cocoa, refreshed by floral aromatics. This is extremely well balanced and wonderfully complex with marmalade notes emerging on a persistent, stylish finish.

Immaculate provenance. Purchased from a reputable UK merchant and carefully shipped to Singapore recently. Stored in a temperature controlled wine cellar.
