TESSERON COGNAC 'LOT 90' XO OVATION

The Tesseron family launched their own cognac label in 2003 after supplying aged reserves to major houses since 1905, holding one of the world's largest collections of old cognacs in 13th-century cellars at Châteauneuf-sur-Charente. Unlike most producers who rely solely on Ugni Blanc, Tesseron uses all three original cognac varieties—Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard—sourced from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne's chalky, limestone-rich soils, then ages exclusively in Limousin oak's wider-grained barrels within humid cellars for rounder development. Lot 90 XO Ovation pours golden with aromas of fresh pear and quince transitioning to dried fruits, almonds, and herbaceous notes, while the palate delivers firm, focused power with nutty depth and orchard fruit character typical of quality XO cognacs aged in this traditional method.
