Description
Grosperrin Millesime 1990 Cognac is a somewhat rustic cognac with a charm all of its own. One in the range of Grosperrin vintage cognacs, this is created from the 1990 harvest from the Fins Bois terroir of the Cognac region.
The house of Grosperrin is reputedly the oldest of all the house (with roots back to the 17th century), and they specialize in producing great quality, old, and vintage cognacs firmly designed with the connoisseur in mind. This one certainly won't disappoint and, for a cognac of this age and quality, represents outstanding value for money.
About Grosperrin Cognac
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, Guilhem, who took over in 2004 at just 23 years old.
Guilhem’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 Guilhem has since built on and expanded. Today, Grosperrin works with over 150 Cognac producers, from which Guilhem will meticulously select barrels to craft into exquisite end bottles.
