The term “Bois Ordinaire” refers to a specific type of aging characterized by barrels that contribute a less intense but more authentic aromatic profile, thus enhancing the original notes of the distillate. On the nose, lively scents of dried fruit such as walnuts and almonds are perceived, along with hints of vanilla and sweet spices. On the palate, the cognac is balanced and velvety, with a long, harmonious finish that leaves traces of toasted wood and a pleasant fruity aftertaste.
Perfect as an elegant digestif, it also pairs well with chocolate-based or dried fruit desserts, highlighting the pairing with its rich and intricate character. A true gem of Grosperrin’s artisanal tradition.

Distillation
Traditional distillation in Charentais pot stills (double distillation for most eaux-de-vie); for some historical cuvées a 19th-century-inspired technique is used (e.g. separate vinification and first distillation for individual grape varieties in the 'Cépages' project).
Ageing
Ageing in casks to obtain the typical expression of each cru; lots are aged and monitored individually in the maison's chais in Saintes; some batches spent long periods in external warehouses before arriving at Grosperrin cellars.
