The Tesseron house is renowned for its very fine collection of eaux-de-vie, which is among the oldest in the world. It was initiated by Abel Tesseron who founded his own cognac house in 1905. He kept his little nuggets in a 12th century crypt, and sold them to major cognac merchants. Since the 2000s, the company has been creating its own blends, marketed in 2002 under the Tesseron Cognac brand. All the cognacs are XO aged at least 10 years. Three collections: classics, signatures and prestiges.

The name of Malakoff comes from the th century. Soldiers who had participated in the Crimean War, while digging a cellar under the house, would have écriés: " It's as hard as the Malakoff battle! '. At Marie-Jo and François Sardin, the Malakoff cocktail consists of pineau, country wine, cognac, eggs, chocolates (au). Let's hope you don't have to have done Trafalgar to love it.
