France
For six generations, the Tercinier family has been producing and ageing eaux-de-vie in Chermignac, in the heart of the Cognac region.
Today, Vallein Tercinier remains a fully independent, family-owned house. We primarily work with eaux-de-vie from our own Fins Bois and Bons Bois vineyards, while also developing a trading activity with eaux-de-vie from Petite Champagne, Grande Champagne and Borderies.
Our approach is based on time, careful blending and the natural expression of each terroir.
Our objective is simple: to offer Cognacs with real character, while remaining flexible enough to build a relevant and commercially coherent range for each market.
Our strength lies in our ability to work across the different stages of Cognac production and ageing:
This flexibility allows us to offer everything from accessible, consistent references to very old Cognacs and highly limited editions.
Our range covers several styles and drinking occasions.
Cognac VS – 40% ABV
An accessible and versatile Cognac, suitable for cocktails, long drinks and straightforward sipping.
Cognac VSOP – 40% ABV
A blend of well-aged eaux-de-vie offering more depth, roundness and complexity.
Cognac Napoléon – 40% ABV
Eaux-de-vie aged for around 15 years, offering a clear step towards a more mature, tasting-oriented Cognac.
XO Vieille Réserve – 40% ABV
Around 35 years of ageing. A more complex Cognac designed primarily for sipping and appreciation.
Hors d'Age – 42% ABV
Eaux-de-vie aged for around 50 years, focusing on depth, concentration, texture and exceptional length.
Alongside this core range, we also develop more exclusive and limited references.
Our cellars contain old eaux-de-vie and individual casks, each with its own character and history.
This allows us to offer Single Casks, cask-strength Cognacs and limited bottlings, generally produced in quantities of only a few hundred bottles.
These references are particularly suited to specialist retailers, spirits bars, collectors, specialist importers and distributors looking for something different from standardised Cognac ranges.
Current examples include:
We can also work directly with a partner on a specific cask selection or an exclusive bottling, based on a brief agreed together.
Long ageing is an important part of the Vallein Tercinier style.
We are not interested in ageing Cognac simply to put a number of years on a label. We focus on what time actually brings to an eau-de-vie: aromatic development, concentration, texture, balance and length.
Some of our casks have spent several decades ageing before being blended or bottled.
This reserve of old eaux-de-vie is one of the key assets that makes our house different.
Our expertise also extends to other products from our region.
We produce:
These products allow us to work across different channels and offer a broader portfolio around Cognac and French regional products.
Our size is deliberately controlled.
We work with approximately 45 hectares of vineyards and produce around 30,000 bottles per year.
This allows us to remain flexible and make decisions quickly.
For an importer or distributor, this means:
direct access to the family, flexibility in product development and the ability to build specific projects together.
We are not looking to be everywhere.
We prefer to develop strong, long-term partnerships with professionals who understand our approach and genuinely want to build the brand in their market.
At Wine Paris, we are looking to meet importers, distributors, specialist retailers, on-trade professionals and international partners who are looking for something beyond a standardised Cognac portfolio.
We are particularly interested in partners looking for:
Our ambition is not simply to sell a bottle.
We want to build the right offer together with our partners — adapted to their market, their customers and their distribution network.
An independent family-owned Cognac house, six generations of expertise, eaux-de-vie from Fins Bois and Bons Bois alongside selected Cognacs from the other crus, long ageing and the flexibility to develop distinctive products together with our partners.
