Tasting review

Eye: Old golden robe, almost amber.

Nose: Cardamom, turmeric, and black pepper, quetsch, and plums. Warming notes of cedar and sandalwood.

Palate: A fruity delicacy with notes of ripe mirabelle plum, prune, chocolate with cinnamon. Spicy notes of nutmeg and tobacco. A finale of licorice and ginger - light and simple. Rancio of a well-aged Cognac appears at the end.

Description

A Petite Champagne Vintage from 1973 - part of the esteemed Cognac de Collection

Featured as one of the exclusive Cognac de Collection curated by Grosperrin, the Grosperrin 1973 Petite Champagne Vintage comes from a family of notaries who have settled in Cognac for several generations. Today, Grosperrin are dedicated to the selection and the ageing of old cognacs and their distribution.

The 1973 Vintage Cognac from the Petite Champagne is a testament to the cru, which is renowned for taking 20-30 years to age fully. This cognac from 1973 aged for more than 45 years in casks. It is characterized by a maritime climate and chalky soil.

Cognacs from the Grosperrin house are never made with caramel and added sugar, and are aged in the original casks where possible.

Presentation

Proofed at 51.2% ABV, and arriving in a tall and simple Cognac decanter.

How to enjoy

Enjoy this Cognac neat, and witness as history unfolds, tantalizing your senses.

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, 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.
