Cognac Grosperrin Bois Ordinaires 10 Years 56.6% ABV - 70cl

Brand history:

The spirit of Grosperrin cognacs lies in the desire to authentically showcase the heritage of the Charente region. Guilhem Grosperrin, a true cognac craftsman, travels throughout the appellation each year in search of exclusive batches and family heirlooms. In their restored 19th-century cellar in Saintes, the cognacs are nurtured like unique works of art, faithfully reflecting a terroir, a specific plot of land, a vintage, and a story.
Where some blend batches from different origins to create quality products, Cognacs Grosperrin crafts intrinsically unique and rare cognacs, recognizable among all others.

Manufacturing method:

Aged for five years in red oak barrels in a dry cellar and for a further five years in a humid cellar, this exceptional cognac comes from the commune of Saint-Pierre d'Oléron. The family estate where this cognac was produced is now one of the largest on the island. This little-known terroir was once a significant production area and is exceptional in many respects. The sandy soils and salt-laden winds give this cognac sought-after maritime notes.

Nose: Invigorating notes of sea spray, mimosa and warm sand, reminiscent of the aromas of the Côte Sauvage.
Palate: A rich and saline balance, with aromas of macerated grapes and fruit
whites and fresher, pastry-like notes.
Final: A beautiful tension behind the fruity notes, typical of the Oléron terroir.
