Cognac Grosperrin Heritage Borderies N°70 49.5° - 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 rare cognac was produced by a winegrower in the village of Burie, on the Borderies plateau. This winemaker, now retired, had kept this very small batch. The cask had been carefully stored in the estate's small cellar, where we found it after many years of aging. Given the very small quantity, we retrieved it with our truck and pumped the contents into a small tank, under the watchful eyes of the winegrower and the sworn broker, also retired. For practical reasons, we were unable to retrieve the cask and had to transfer its contents into two casks that had previously held very old cognacs, in our cellar in Saintes. It is offered to you as it has aged.

Nose: Exuberant and singular, iris, violet, black truffle, sweet pepper and light floral rancios.
Palate: Smooth and deep, developing an aromatic richness with licorice, candied fruits and floral spices.
Final: Typical signature of Borderies, between stewed red fruits and dried flowers.
