COGNAC GROSPERRIN N°90 ORDINARY WOOD 46.2° 70 CL

This Cognac comes from a very small estate in St-Pierre-d'Oléron, whose owner is now retired. Covered in rare greenery including mimosa and tamarisk, this place has earned the nickname “the island of herbs”. Grosperrin Cognac N°90 Bois Ordinaire from Ile d'Oléron comes from a sandy terroir, exposed to the spray of the Atlantic Ocean and benefiting from the influence of the Gulf Stream and almost Mediterranean sunshine.

Long aging in a very small humid cellar located on the Ile d'Oléron, a stone's throw from the ocean, allowed these eaux-de-vie to develop into an extraordinary expression of age. It is presented at a cask strength of 48.8% ABV for an intense, full-bodied tasting experience.

Grosperrin Cognac was created in 1992 by Cognac broker and trader Jean Grosperrin. After working in the wine industry for many years, Jean developed valuable relationships with Cognac winemakers and contacts through which he was able to purchase some of the oldest and most sought-after eaux-de-vie produced in the over the decades in Charente. Today, the house is still a family affair, run by Jean and Guilhem Grosperrin. All Grosperrin Cognacs produced are strictly controlled, with dates and vintages fully traceable.

Eye: Old gold with amber reflections.

Nose: The aromas are captured by the salinity: a wild coast, rocky beaches. Unexpectedly, an explosion of sweet spices and pine needles emerges.

In the mouth: Soft, with a velvety texture. Touches of iodine are replaced by fresh fruit and woody touches. Average, well-balanced finish.
