The Spirit The Spirit
France
Region:Cognac
Composition is the first blend that was created by Alfred Tesseron and recently appointed 2nd generation Tesseron Cognac Master Blender, Romain Martial. His only guidance was that he must use only eau-de-vie that he had directly crafted. The result is a wonderful Cognac that uses barrels that have been ageing for between six and 7 years and Cognac produced solely from Domaine grapes grown in the top cru of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. In the glass it is bright and offers aromas of spiced autumn fruit alongside the distinctive floral notes that define the house style. On the palate it is oily and rich and has retained plenty of vinous character.
The Distillery The Distillery
Maison Tesseron produces some of the finest expressions of aged Cognac, yet even today flies a little under the radar. Which is why we love it that little bit more. With a collection of excellent vineyards planted across the region in the crus of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois they excel in crafting a range that is pretty much exclusively of XO age and some of their reserves date back to the early 19th Century and consist of Cognacs made in the times before phylloxera ravaged the vineyards of Europe.
The Perfect Serve The Perfect Serve
Composition Cognac's versatility mean that it mixes beautifully in a wide range of stirred and shaken drinks. So rather than be prescriptive, because Composition is possibly the ultimate cocktail Cognac, go make your favourite. Whether that be a Sidecar or Champs-Elysees, you won't be let down!
