Melanie Tesseron

The drinks business published the Top 50 Most Powerful Women in Wine with #23 on the list being Melanie Tesseron! The list covers a wide range of areas including wine journalists, promotion and production, winery heirs, and many more. “While busy running the family spirits business, Tesseron Cognac, Melanie Tesseron is becoming increasingly involved with the family wine estate – flying fifth Château Pontet-Canet, which she manages alongside her uncle Alfred. Becoming known globally as the face of the biodynamic brand, particularly in Asia, Tesseron joined the estate in 2005 and has helped Pontet-Canet pursue its biodynamic goal – it achieved full certification in 2010. Pontet-Canet has recently gone on sale at Tesco via its online platform, Wine by the Case, and on the new UK website for US retailer Costco as part of its fine wine offering.” To see the entire list of 50 click here.

Tesseron Cognac Lot N°29 XO Exception

Tesseron Cognac Lot N°29 XO Exception is captivating to the eye, as the topaz-colored spirit shimmers and glistens in the glass. Derived from a combination of Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard grapes from the rarest Tesseron stocks, and aged for more than three generations in pure French Limousin oak casks, this spirit lives up to its heritage and promise. It is Grande Champagne at its best and most complex, with aromas of plums, figs, honey and a touch of mango and kiwi simultaneously assaulting and hugging the palate. The round, thick, viscous mouthfeel and lingering finish of this cognac make it work as its very own course, without the need of a food pairing.

Cognac Tesseron appeared in a major article this Monday.  Bloomberg wine and spirits writer Elin McCoy goes into the incredible cellars of Cognac Tesseron and is dazzled by what she sees and tastes, most notably Tesseron Extreme – the article is titled, “Crypt Keeper’s $4,000 Cognac Offers Entry to Paradies”. She compares Extreme to Louis XIII, the most recognized Cognac in this super luxury category. McCoy writes, “Remy’s blend is fabulous, but I still give the edge to the sublime Tesseron Extreme.”
