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.
What makes Cognacs Grosperrin even more... See more ...
This Cognac comes from a winegrower-polyculteur in the Chalais region, on the edge of the Dordogne.
His grandfather had started this business in 1901, continued by his father, then by himself.
This elderly winegrower was forced to cease operations in 2003 for lack of a buyer.
He then benefited from the "prime à l'arrachage", a subsidy that helped him financially as much as it represented a heartbreak for him.
In fact, despite the economic crisis in the Cognac region, he had managed to reach 12 hectares of vines.
This Bois Bois terroir, a wrongly discredited cru, is nonetheless remarkable thanks to a combination of factors, such as altitude (110 meters), typical soils (raw sands, deep clays), and practices that are often artisanal due to the smaller vineyard areas than in other crus (with small, peculiarly-shaped stills).
Old gold color. Sweet, candied fruit nose, almost roasted. Saline touch, which makes it appealing, and makes you want to dive into the glass. On the palate, the attack is soft, thick, warm, gourmand notes fill the mouth.
The tannins are discreet, but perfectly integrated.
This Cognac is already mature, at the peak of its aging.
