La Maison Tiffon was founded in Jarnac in 1875, and in 1919 Cognac Tiffon was established - plenty of history behind this family-run house. Tiffon XO is a blend of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, that's why this cognac can be called Fine Champagne, at least 50% Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. # 3 0 1 8 9 3 1 7 CHAT EAU DE TR I AC S I N G L E V I N E Y A R D C O G N A C Cognac Tiffon offers a single-vineyard expression from the vineyards around the Chateau de Triac, located in the Fin Bois.
