Grosperrin Cognac Fins Bois Organic 2010 46.8% 700ml
$236.00
This very rare cognac comes from a small farm located in a village close to Courbillac, Herpès. This producer works for other distilleries to supplement his income, and he is recognized as an expert of an ancient distillation practice called “méthode grasse”, which gives richness and density to the “eau-de-vie”, increasing substantially the positive effects of ageing. We buy the entire harvest, entirely composed of the Folle. Blanche grape variety is then vinified and distilled on the estate, before starting its ageing process in our cellars. The Folle Blanche is a grape variety that originates from the region, long before the Phylloxera crisis. It has since become very rare (around 1% of vineyards in the region) because of its sensitivity to Botrytis. This cognac was slowly reduced after the distillation while in specific casks to fully reveal the beneficial effects of this ancient distillation method. Tasting Notes: On the nose, notes of ripe grapes, and apricot, old Sauternes. Cinnamon, candied fruits and pineapple roasted nose. Tender, tasty on the palate, it’s possible to feel the greasy notes coming from this distillation process. A little compote side could be due to the fact that the percentage of “second” is important. Very smooth though, spicy finish; seems to be older than in reality. A nice Fins Bois, very rare.

This very rare Cognac comes from a joint possession which was established upon the death of the winegrower many years ago. This man, also a country broker, used to keep track of the oldest cognacs he sold. It was from his son that Jean bought this cognac, in 1999. Since then, this unique cask has remained stored in our cellars. Because of its high quality, it had been isolated without any particular purpose having been defined. It was only in 2017 that bottling was carried out for our collection. TASTING NOTES Very amber color. On the nose, this cognac affirms its great age with tertiary notes, spices, white pepper, autumn undergrowth, humus, and a pronounced rancio. Bearing, it also emerges a certain lightness of these aromas, thanks to notes of jasmine, tubers, candied fruit. On the palate, the attack is sweet, greedy, little tannic, with an elegant rancid flavor. The vintage, the Fins Bois, makes this fine cognac, not very powerful in amount, certainly, but very balanced, and accessible in the mouth.

This vintage Cognac comes from a fruit farm located in Saintonge. Having started in 1971 with 10 hectares of apple trees, this farm now has some 100 hectares of fruit trees and only a few hectares of vines. This rustic terroir, made up of clays and marls, is reputed not to be suitable for viticulture. However, good management of the vines, careful distillation and quality aging manage to give these Cognacs a distinctive, powerful and balanced character, more and more sought after by amateurs. Tasting Notes: Golden colour. On the nose, sweet aromas of rum baba, currants and orange peels. You have to let the glass air out to perceive more airy and vegetal notes, such as grapes and cloves. Beautiful puffs of salty air that make you salivate. In the mouth, a power contained in the attack. Thanks to a very slow reduction, the mouth became oily, the reduction does not feel.

This lot comes from the father of the winegrower who produces the Folle Blanche, in the region of St-Fort-Sur-Le-Né. This batch was distilled with wood and charcoal, in a 7-hectoliters still. Its rare taste qualities require me to offer it to you brut-de-tût, that is to say without any alcohol reduction. Very amber colour. The nose is marked by lively and frank notes of ripe plums, mirabelle plum, leather, and black pepper (Kappad). The whole is very harmonious, and from the nose, the invitation to taste is strong. On the palate, the attack is powerful and immediately complex. It's an explosion of spicy and virile notes: nutmeg, cloves, black pepper. Quite a woody cognac, which gives it a dense and rich texture, with a chewiness worthy of red wine. Nice balance, alcohol does not burn, controlled astringency. The finish is marked by very long notes of blackcurrant.
