DESCRIPTION
Created and financed by the SCEA Tessseron JP & Fils in 1989, the Ecomuseum of Cognac is a living museum, an interpretation centre of the Cognac professions located on the Tesseron estate. It first presents the history and heritage of the Tesseron family, since its creation in 1850, through its Vigneron - Bouilleur de Crus Museum, and then introduces you to the arts and fragrances of Cognac in a playful and poetic way.
The estate has a space dedicated to the discovery of the aromas of Pineau des Charentes and Cognac through 10 perfume organs called "Le Chai des Arômes".
You can also discover the history of Cognac over 2,000 years through an audiovisual show projected on 3 screens, discover the distillery where the spirits of the Tesseron estate are produced each year, as well as various workshops and exhibitions (Cuba; Collections of 1950-60 cars...)
