Cognac Grosperrin Vintage Petite Champagne 1969 46.3° - 70cl

Brand History:

The spirit of Grosperrin cognacs is rooted in the desire to bear unadorned witness to the Charentais heritage. Guilhem Grosperrin, a true cognac artisan, traverses the lands of the appellation every year in search of confidential lots and family heirlooms. In their restored 19th-century cellar in Saintes, the cognacs are raised as unique works of art, a faithful reflection of a terroir, a plot, a vintage, and a history.
While some blend lots of different origins to create quality products, Cognacs Grosperrin craft cognacs that are intrinsically unique and rare, recognizable among all others.

Production Method:

This vintage cognac comes from a family of notaries established in Cognac for several generations. This 1969 Petite Champagne was part of the estate of the father, who had bequeathed his stocks to his wife and son, also a notary. The father had purchased this lot in April 1970, intending to resell it at a higher price a few years later, as was common practice at the time among some well-informed private individuals. Unfortunately, the oil crisis coupled with the end of the Vietnam War caused cognac prices to collapse shortly thereafter. Upon his death, his wife and son no longer saw eye to eye, and the estate bogged down for several decades until Grosperrin proposed a solution.

Nose: Very ripe fruit, dried pear, prune, smoky and pastry notes, Christmas pudding.
Palate: Powerful and fresh, linden, hawthorn, ample and harmonious structure.

This Grosperrin 1969 vintage cognac is a true work of art that reflects a rich heritage and authentic flavors. Each sip bears witness to the exceptional craftsmanship and passion surrounding its production.
