The Cognac Grosperrin is a name that resonates with excellence and tradition in the world of Cognac. This family-owned company, founded by Jean Grosperrin, is renowned for its commitment to craftsmanship and the exceptional quality of its Cognacs. With a history that dates back over two centuries, Cognac Grosperrin is the fruit of a passion passed down from generation to generation.
The story of the Grosperrin family begins in the early 19th century, when Jean Grosperrin, a wine merchant, began producing and trading Cognac. Since then, the family has developed a unique expertise in selecting exceptional Cognacs from the region's finest Domaines.
What sets Cognac Grosperrin apart is its resolute focus on quality and authenticity. Unlike the big Cognac houses that produce blends, Grosperrin focuses on buying and maturing Cognacs from small, artisanal distilleries. These Cognacs are aged in oak casks in the traditional cellars of the Cognac region, where the mild, oceanic climate plays an essential role in the maturation process.
The terroir of the Cognac region is a key element in the quality of Cognacs Grosperrin. The vineyards lie on limestone soils, which give the grapes a unique mineral richness. What's more, the mild climate, tempered by the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, favors slow, steady ripening of the grapes, enabling the development of complex aromas of great finesse.

This relatively old Cognac comes from an estate in Salles-d'Angles, in the heart of the Grande Champagne. Maison Grosperrin bought lots from this retired winegrower 6 years ago. Some of these were bottled directly, while the rest were stored in old barrels to further enhance the rancio and finish. This bottling is Seconde. It is described as being far superior to the first.
Adorned with a magnificent amber color, the nose is lively and delicate, with notes of iris, white flowers, wax and rancio. Hints of old balsamic also appear fairly quickly. On the palate, the attack is gentle. Well-balanced, it expresses complex aromas reminiscent of those on the nose. The finish is remarkably long.
