Cognac Grosperrin Heritage Bons Bois No. 70-74

Brand History:

The spirit of Grosperrin cognacs is based on the desire to bear witness to the Charente heritage without artifice. Guilhem Grosperrin, a true cognac artisan, travels the appellation's lands each year in search of confidential lots and family heirlooms. In their restored 19th-century cellar in Saintes, the cognacs are aged as unique works, faithfully reflecting a terroir, a plot, a vintage, and a history.
Where some blend batches from different origins to create quality products, Grosperrin Cognacs craft intrinsically unique and rare cognacs, recognizable among all.

Manufacturing Method:

This very old cognac comes from a small estate located in the commune of Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge. Following the producer's death, the oldest stocks were isolated in a joint ownership, formed by his three children, three brothers, one of whom took over the business. The barrels, in which different harvest years were stored, aged peacefully in the small cellar, on beaten earth. This producer frequently blended several years, most often due to lack of space.

Nose: Very expressive, very ripe mango, roasted pineapple, discreet ethyl acetate, notes of undergrowth and noble mushrooms.
Palate: Round and enveloping, exotic palette with raisins, sweet spices and a slightly oxidative breath.
Finish: Moderate in length, but endearing, leaves a warm and rustic impression.
