IN THE 1880s, GASTON TESSENDIER WAS A DEDICATED MATHEMATICS TEACHER, BUT HE ALSO NURTURED THE FAMILY VINEYARD “DOMAINE DU BUISSON,” BEAUTIFULLY SITUATED IN THE HEART OF THE PRESTIGIOUS LES BORDERIES AREA IN THE COGNAC REGION. WHILE TENDING TO THE VINES DEMANDED BOTH TIME AND DEVOTION, IT WAS A TRUE LABOR OF LOVE FOR GASTON. A TALE OF TOGETHERNESS HIS SON CLAUDE EMBRACED THE LEGACY, EAGER TO REFINE THE ART OF DISTILLATION WITH HIS TECHNICAL EXPERTISE. HE IMMERSED HIMSELF IN THE METHODS AND INSTRUMENTS OF DISTILLATION AND AGING, BEFORE SHARING HIS INVALUABLE KNOWLEDGE AND FERVOR WITH HIS OWN SON.

TODAY, THE TWO BROTHERS, JÉRÔME AND LILIAN TESSENDIER, REPRESENTING THE FOURTH GENERATION OF THIS PASSIONATE FAMILY, CARRY FORWARD THE LEGACY, THE APPRECIATION FOR EXQUISITE EAUX-DE-VIE, AND THE MASTERY THAT HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS. AS CELLAR MASTER AND MASTER BLENDER, THEY UNITE THEIR TALENTS IN THE ART OF BLENDING, COMMITTED TO FORGING REMARKABLE SPIRITS BRANDS, WITH THE CROWNING JEWEL BEING: PARK COGNAC!

WITH A VISIONARY SPIRIT, DOMINIQUE PARK, HAILING FROM SCOTLAND, BECAME ENCHANTED BY THE COGNAC REGION AND DREAMED OF CRAFTING A UNIQUE COGNAC THAT WOULD CARRY HIS NAME.

HE ENCOUNTERED JÉRÔME TESSENDIER, AND, UNITED IN PURPOSE, THEY ESTABLISHED THE PARK COGNAC COLLECTION.
JÉRÔME, ATTUNED TO DOMINIQUE’S DREAMS, CRAFTED BESPOKE BLENDS AND USHERED IN THE FIRST “CRAFT” COGNACS.

DOMINIQUE PARK IS PASSING THE TORCH, AND THE TESSENDIER DISTILLERY IS STEPPING UP TO TAKE THE HELM OF PARK COGNAC, WHICH IS NOW BECOMING A CHERISHED PART OF THE HOUSE’S PORTFOLIO.
