Cognac Grosperrin Vintage Petite Champagne 1973 51.2°

Brand History:

The spirit of Grosperrin cognacs is based on the desire to bear witness to the Charente heritage without artifice. Guilhem Grosperrin, a true cognac artisan, travels the appellation's lands each year in search of confidential lots and family heirlooms. In their restored 19th-century cellar in Saintes, the cognacs are aged as unique works, faithfully reflecting a terroir, a plot, a vintage, and a history.
Where some blend batches from different origins to create quality products, Grosperrin Cognacs craft intrinsically unique and rare cognacs, recognizable among all.

Manufacturing Method:

This vintage Cognac comes from a family of notaries who have been living in Cognac for several generations. This 1973 Petite Champagne was part of the father's estate, who had bequeathed his stocks to his wife and son, a notary like him. 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 is still renowned today. Unfortunately, upon the father's death, the son and his mother no longer got along, and the succession stalled for many years, until we proposed a solution. This is a very "sentimental" Cognac, which was stored under state control on January 28, 1974, in an old and very humid cellar located on the banks of the Charente, which has since become the Cognac Museum.
