Cognac Grosperrin Heritage Bons Bois N° 70-74 42.7% 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:

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 held jointly by his three children, three brothers, one of whom took over the business. The casks, which had stored different vintages, aged peacefully in the small cellar with its earthen floor. The producer frequently blended several vintages, 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.
Final: Moderate in length, but engaging, leaving a warm and rustic impression.
