More questions
The Cognac 1970 Petite Champagne of Grosperrin is a precious expression of a historic vintage, coming from the renowned Petite Champagne region, the heart of the cognac territory famous for its limestone soil and its ability to give elegance and complexity to the distillates. This cru is made exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes, the classic variety for cognac production, which imparts freshness and structure to the spirit.
The aging, meticulously prolonged in selected oak barrels, offers an extraordinary aromatic depth, with notes of amber honey, dried fruit, vanilla, and a hint of sweet spices. On the palate, it opens with a soft and velvety texture, accompanied by a long persistence that culminates in a harmonious and charming finish. The skilled craftsmanship of Grosperrin, distinguished by the search for unique and rare lots, makes this cognac an intensely refined sensory experience.
Perfect as a digestif after a significant meal, it pairs excellently with desserts based on dried fruit or dark chocolate, but also reaches its peak in a simple tasting neat, to fully appreciate its complexity and timeless elegance.

The story
Jean Grosperrin began working as a distiller in 1981 and operated as a broker in the region during the 1990s; in 1999 he acquired some old barrels and started small-scale bottlings that became the Grosperrin label. In 2004 Guilhem Grosperrin took over the house and expanded the collection; in 2012 the maison moved into 19th-century chais on the Charente quays in Saintes, where selection and maturation of lots continue.
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.
