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 Cognac Millésimé comes from a family of notaries settled in Cognac for several generations.
This 1973 Petite Champagne was part of the estate of the father, who had bequeathed his stock to his wife and son, a notary like himself.
The father had bought 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 still renowned today.
Unfortunately, when the father died, the son and his mother no longer got on and the estate bogged down for many years, until the Cognacs Grosperrin proposed a solution.
This is a very "sentimental" Cognac, which was stored under state control on January 25, 1974, in an old and very damp chai on the banks of the Charente, now the Musée du Cognac.
Old gold, almost amber color.
The nose is marked by gourmand notes of ripe plums, mirabelle plums, spices (cardamom, turmeric, black pepper) and exotic woods (warm cedar, sandalwood).
Around all this, we find the characteristic rancio of old Cognacs close to maturity.
On the palate, again this fruity (ripe plum, prune, cinnamon chocolate) and spicy (nutmeg, tobacco) greediness.
