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.
