Cognac Grosperrin Heritage Fins Bois N°68 56.7° - 70cl

Brand History:

The spirit of Grosperrin cognacs is rooted in the desire to bear witness to the Charente heritage without artifice. Guilhem Grosperrin, a true cognac artisan, traverses the appellation's lands every year in search of confidential lots and family heirlooms. In their restored 19th-century cellar in Saintes, the cognacs are aged like unique works of art—a faithful reflection of a terroir, a plot, a vintage, and a history.
Where some blend lots of different origins to create quality products, Cognacs Grosperrin crafts cognacs that are intrinsically unique and rare, recognizable among all others.

Production Method:

Produced on the limestone lands of Vars, a commune whose rolling plateaus frequently exceed a hundred meters in altitude (rare in Cognac, where the average altitude is about 20 meters), this lot, composed of several remarkable old cognac casks, has undergone two successive legacies. In 1982, the producer's widow inherited the stock and ceased operations upon her husband's death. In 2017, she passed away in turn and bequeathed the precious eaux-de-vie produced by her late husband to her children. It was from them that Guilhem Grosperrin had the opportunity to purchase these casks, including this one, which was stored quite separately from the other lots in the son's cellar, he himself being a farmer on his parents' land.

Nose: Saline and mineral, fine waxes, old honey, delicate candied fruits, elegant tension.
Palate: Superb texture, between wood oil and poached plum, perfect balance between structure and sensuality.
Finish: Extremely long and harmonious, oscillating between minerality and notes of noble wood.
