Cognac Grosperrin Vintage Petite Champagne 1973 51.2° - 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 vintage Cognac comes from a family of notaries established in Cognac for several generations. This 1973 Petite Champagne was part of the father's estate, who bequeathed his stock to his wife and son, also a notary. The father had purchased this lot in January 1974 from one of his clients, who was then the president of one of the most important Cognac houses. This lot therefore comes from the distillery and cellars of a house that remains renowned today. Unfortunately, after the father's death, the son and his mother were no longer on good terms, and the inheritance process dragged on for many years until we offered a solution. This is a very sentimental Cognac, which was stored under state control on January 28, 1974, in an old and very damp cellar located on the banks of the Charente River, which has since become the Cognac Museum.
