As you step inside the Tesseron cognac house in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, a family secret awaits you: a collection of the finest, exceptionally rare cognacs.

This unique treasure trove dates back to the 19th century when Abel Tesseron acquired the property in order to store invaluable rare cognacs –his great passion. And in buying the house, his life’s dream of producing and ageing his own cognacs could now be fulfilled.

For over a century, the Tesseron Cognac’s remained a hidden trade secret. Alfred and Gérard Tesseron, third generation of the family, made a decision that would change forever the course of the family business: they decided to release their invaluable collection of brandies under their name. The first Tesseron “XOs” thus arrived on the market. Today, Alfred Tesseron and his children, Justine and Noé, continue the work initiated by their ancestors.
