Cognac Tesseron The Signature Collection XO Extra Légende 700ml

Aged, as Albert Tesseron puts it, “for one generation,” meaning 25-plus years, the Extra Légende is created from a blend of Tesseron Grande Champagne reserve wines. It builds its deep complexity from the inclusion of around fifty eaux-de-vie (including a number made from the Folle Blanche variety, a rarity in Cognac today) and its maturation in cellars of different humidity levels. It carries a little more earthy, woody spice than the Passion, with deeper, more mature candied fruit notes as well. There are also heady, deep, floral top notes, rich, spicy base notes, a velveteen texture and an extraordinarily long finish. Another stunning XO.
