Description

Description

The Grosperrin Millesime 1944 Bons Bois Cognac is a truly uber-special delight. The eaux-de-vie was provided by the family property of the Cognac merchant who sold it to Grosperrin, having remained in the same family for some six decades. It was storned in its original location - a huge, paved cellar, until it was transferred to goverment controlled cellars in 1999.

The origina owner's chateau was occuped by the German Wehrmacht, and because the archives were dispersed at the end of WW2, it's impossible to prove that it dates to pre-1944. However, while the end of the war brought around widespread pillaging by occupying forces and local inhabitants (as well as the murder of one founding members of the family business), certified photocopies of the original documents provide powerful traces of the history of this Cognac. In addition, carbon dating has confirmed this futher.

Not only will the owner of such a Cognac have a treasure to drink, but in addition, a real piece of history.

Nose ^*

What aromas do you get when you sniff the Cognac? Do you get hints of fruits or flowers - perhaps it's sweet? Is it intense or rather flat - and most importantly, is the nose coherent to taste and finish? The nose is the most important part when tasting Cognac.

Palate ^*

A small sip: Allow your taste buds in the various areas of your mouth to distinguish the different flavours. This part of cognac tasting is described as ‘the palate’. Don’t just swallow it down; allow the liquid to touch all the regions of the mouth. Doing this is necessary as the taste buds pick up contrasting flavours in the different areas of the mouth; on the tip of your tongue to the sides, for example.

Aftertaste (Finish) ^*

The ‘finish’ is the experience you get after you’ve swallowed the cognac. What flavours can you detect? Is it a flat or rough finish and rather sharp, or is it a slight "punch" you like? How long does the finish last? Also think about overall balance: How does the finish compare to nose and taste?

Value for money ^*

Do you like this Cognac in terms of taste but also presentation? What about the story and identity of this Cognac? Does all this translate to the price or do you think it's a bit overpriced? If you think this totally justifies the price, make it 5 stars!
