The wine

Donated by Maison Vallein Tercinier
“This lot 22 is an exceptional Grande Champagne cognac aged by my great-great uncle Paul Vallein (1864-1944), laid down in our cellars in Limousin oak casks for 63 years, before being stored in demijohns. It has since been lovingly cared for by three generations. These barrels and demijohns are found in our records as far back as they go.”
Catherine Tercinier ‒ Director of Maison Vallein Tercinier

Tasting notes:
This cognac reveals a subtle nose characterized by aromas of cigar box, chocolate and forest floor. Its exceptional length is underscored by menthol, guava and violet flavours.

The distillery Vallein Tercinier

Domaine des Forges was bought by Louis Vallein in 1791. In 1850, his grandson Georges Vallein set up a company for bottling and selling the estate’s cognac. He was not only the estate’s owner but also its distiller and bottler. As his son Paul never married, his nephew Louis Tercinier took over when he returned from WWI, developing the house’s renown abroad. After WWII, he was joined by his son Robert. Business flourished and the company began exporting to new markets in the 1980s. Since the 1990s, grape-growing work and bottling activities have been shared between his children Louis and Catherine. Today the house produces a comprehensive range of cognacs, including many highly sought-after vintage editions.
