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.

Maison Grosperrin, located in Saintes, is now run by Guilhem Grosperrin, son of founder Jean Grosperrin. Guilhem travels tirelessly throughout the Cognac appellation area, meeting producers in search of exceptional Rares and bottling unique Cognacs. He takes advantage of his father's fantastic network of contacts, which he has expanded and developed to more than 150 partners.
This Cognac was found in the commune of Burie, in the "Pays Bas" (clay soil), in the Borderies cru. Its producer, now retired, has always kept batches in his small cellar as a reminder of his early days. This cask from the '70s, listed as lot 991 in his cellar, still contained 271 liters of Cognac, with a natural alcohol content of 49.5% Alc. without any reduction; it's a Brut de Fût.
It has an amber color with mahogany highlights. The nose is intense, even exuberant. It exhales aromas of iris, peony, violet candy, and powerful woody notes such as Lampong pepper and black truffle, before extending to a charming rancio. The palate is suave, rich and dense at the same time. The same expressions as on the nose are present, complemented by red fruit, licorice, dried flowers and, of course, that intoxicating rancio.
This Cognac Heritage N°70 from Maison Grosperrin is racy, elegant and comforting all at once. It will be very inspiring with small game birds, such as roast pigeon and pan-fried baby carrots and shiitake mushrooms. And for dessert, opt for a chocolate cremeux with beet syrup and Madagascar pepper
