The Grosperrin's Bons Bois N.70/74 Cognac is a rarity and ancient charm coalesces in a bottle. from a quaint estate in the commune of St Genis de Saintonge, this venerable spirit is the legacy of a producer whose passing led to the safeguarding of the oldest stocks by his three heirs. This 42.7% ABV spirit has matured in a damp cellar upon earthen floors, its strength naturally mellowing over the years. Boasting a compote-like richness and a decadent balance, this is a 'drinkable' cognac that seduces the palate with its almost 'putrid' oxidative notes—a sign of a well-worn rancio that beckons one back for more.
The vessel that cradles this liquid history. The labeling is straightforward yet elegant, allowing the deep amber elixir to shine as the true star. It's a bottle that doesn't shout for attention but rather, like a wise elder, knows its value and the stories it holds within its glass walls.
This cognac is best enjoyed neat, perhaps with a single small ice cube to whisper a hint of coolness into its depths. Allow it to sit, and then take a leisurely stroll through its complex profile.

Number 23 in the calendar. And I had to check again if I had picked the right number, because I don‘t get a lot of the notes the other reviewers get. The nose is lovely though, a lot of different exotic fruits. But on the palate I only get the cognac rasins and it feels very dry. The finish is short...
This is a rare Bons Bois a blend 1970 and 1974 just slightly above 40%. It has a nice deep mahogany color. It is rich and inviting on the nose. I find intense fruit notes, bread and some wood. In mouth it is very tasteful. The intensity is very good. It is short as most cognacs from Bons Bois. The...
Deep amber colour. This cognac shows a deep, opulent nose on exotic, overripe fruits, mushrooms, humid forest soil and wood. On the palate it is oily, quite mouthfilling on overripe mangos, pineapples, oranges and spices. The finish is medium and elegant on fruits, spices and wood. Tasted H2H...
The independent Cognac house of Grosperrin is a relatively new one in the region, having only been established in 1999 by its founder, Jean Grosperrin. Grosperrin is based in Saintes which sits between the terroirs of Fins Bois and Borderies and it is today run by Jean’s son, Guilhelm, who took over in 2004 at just 23 years old.
Guilhelm’s mission is to discover producers all across the region in order to create truly unique Cognacs from the six crus. This vision was made possible by the fantastic relationships Jean Grosperrin built with producers, and that Guilhelm has since built on and expanded. Today, Grosperrin works with over 150 Cognac producers, from which Guilhelm will meticulously select barrels to craft into exquisite end bottles.
