Cognacs from the Vallein Tercinier house delight the palate in the fifth and sixth generation demanding connoisseur.

From these, Vallein Tercinier distills and blends (some with purchased eaux-de-vie) the finest, yet affordable cognacs for category connoisseurs and newcomers alike - including increasingly whisky fans. The family business has been conquering the latter group of connoisseurs for some time now with precious, genuine single casks from the house's extensive and decades-old stock.
