Cognac Park Extra is born from a blend of the best eaux-de-vie of the Grande Champagne, each aged for a minimum of 40 years in the cellars of the Tessendier family estate in oak casks, an atmosphere that is soft, humid, and fresh, on the serene banks of the River Charentes. This blend is the pinnacle of the Cognac Park range.
The Cognac Park brand was created in 1995 and, at that time, was a new project between the Tessendier family and Dominic Park, a Scotsman who sought out the Tessendier family for their generations of experience in the Cognac trade. The distillery itself was founded in 1880, when Gaston Tessendier tended his family vineyards located in the prestigious growing area of the Borderies, acting on his ambition to create outstanding Cognac. Single-mindedly, Gaston learned to work his vineyards and later, with the help of his son, began distillation of his wines. The company has remained in the Tessendier family through four generations. Today, the current family estate remains at Domaine Du Buisson, its original site, housing the family’s vineyards and winery. It is composed of more than 25 hectares in the heart of one of the most exclusive growing regions, the Borderies.
