Grosperrin
L'ESSENTIEL A29
L'ESSENTIEL A29 Grosperrin comes from the heart of the Fins Bois cru, between the communes of Matha Le Goulet and Thors. The vines that produced the wine, and therefore eau-de-vie, came from merely a few hectares of vines at the named place “Chez Train”. This part of the Fins Bois is particularly reputed for its agricultural and wine production - the proof being that 83% of the land at this location is devoted to these cultivations. Moreover, Parish records dating from 1686 make reference to the quality of this sector of the cru. According to Guilhem Grospserrin himself, the terroir is textbook Fins Bois: clay and limestone soil.

Marancheville
L'ESSENTIEL A45
The art of Cognac can surely be defined by a single word—patience.
Never in recent times have we collectively had to draw so strongly on our personal reserves of this practice. However, when it comes to eau-de-vie, it’s this very emotional intelligence that allows masterpieces, such as the exclusive limited editions of L’ESSENTIEL.
What makes this particular L'ESSENTIEL A45 Marancheville so special is that it spent a significant number of years aging in three small 60 liter barrels. For Marancheville, like most other Cognac producers, the standard barrel size is 350 to 400 liters. What impact might such a small barrel have on the Cognac aging inside? Gregoire from Cognac Marancheville states, “The aging process is accelerated because the ratio of the surface area of liquid to the barrel volume is very high. Consequently, the evaporation is higher than in a classic barrel. This strong evaporation is a necessary evil for a quality aging process.”
