Cognac Grosperrin - 25years

This Cognac comes from a winegrower-polyculteur in the Chalais region, on the edge of the Dordogne. His grandfather started the business in 1901, and it was continued by his father and then by himself. This elderly winegrower was forced to cease his activities 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 was heartbreaking for him. Indeed, despite the economic crisis in the Cognac region, he had managed to grow to 12 hectares of vines.

The 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, specially-shaped stills).

Old gold color. Sweet, candied fruit nose, almost roasted. A saline touch that makes it appealing and makes you want to dive into the glass. On the palate, the attack is soft and thick, with warm, gourmand notes filling the mouth.

Tannins are discreet, but perfectly integrated. This cognac is already mature, at the peak of its ageing process.
