Tiffon 1900 Vintage Grande Champagne Cognac

A stunning 1900 vintage expression of Tiffon Grande Champagne Cognac. The Tiffon firm was founded in 1875 by Médéric Tiffon and monsieur Roy. The Cognac producer has long released high quality V.S, X.O and V.S.O.P bottlings but often releases cuvees of Cognacs aged for 70-80 years.

This 1900 vintage bottling is an oddity with little information presented other than the Grande Champagne region and vintage provided. We estimate this was bottled circa the later 1990s/early 2000s. Whilst no age can be declared, especially as Cognac routinely rest in demijohns, we expect this to be in line with their 80-100 year old releases that have been seen in the past.

Bottled at 40% Abv, this incredible 1900 vintage is a stunning opportunity to try one of Cognac's most unique producers from yesteryear. The 1900 harvest is one of the most historically significant in cognac history. It falls within the first generation of post-phylloxera cognac: the phylloxera louse devastated the region from 1872 onward, and systematic replanting on American rootstocks only reached meaningful scale by the late 1890s. The 1900 vintage is among the earliest at which restored vineyards produced a full, quality harvest across the Grande Champagne appellation.
