To create this Cognac we blend eaux-de-vie from two regions – Fins Bois and Petite Champagne – and age a minimum of three years in lightly toasted barrels, with most of the blend spending closer to six years in barrel.

About This Brand

Cognac Park is the premier brand from Distillerie Tessendier, founded by Gaston Tessendier in 1880. Today, master blenders Lilian and Jérôme Tessendier - 4th gen. brothers - oversee production, with the goal of distilling and blending cognacs that clearly express the terroir of four different growing regions: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, The Borderies, and Fins Bois. Each of our blends is created with purpose and vision, carefully balancing the nuances of the geography, climate, and aging conditions that are so important in cognac production.
