{"title":"Vintaged Cognacs","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere most Cognac is a blend — across years, casks, and sometimes crus — vintage Cognac is the purest expression of a single harvest. One year, one domaine, one unbroken thread from the vineyard to the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage releases occupy a distinct and revered corner of the Cognac world. Because they cannot be adjusted or balanced across multiple years, they carry the full character of their harvest: the warmth of a particular summer, the early acidity of a cooler autumn, the idiosyncrasies of a specific plot of chalk or clay. It is, in every sense, liquid history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur vintage range spans nearly a century of harvests. Grosperrin — whose raison d'être is the sourcing and bottling of exceptional old single-year parcels — is represented across multiple crus and decades, from a 2001 organic Fins Bois through the 1990s, 1980s, and 1970s, back to the extraordinary 1924 and 1925 Grande Champagne releases. Jean Fillioux's 1953 and 1992 expressions are genuine rarities. Lhéraud brings single-year releases from 1967 to 1979 across Fins Bois, Petite Champagne, Grande Champagne and Bons Bois. Normandin-Mercier and François Voyer round out the collection with their own milestone vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo open a vintage Cognac is to open a particular year.

On the palate, the attack is straightforward, almost easy, unsurprisingly giving the spicy notes (sandalwood, cedar, pepper) one would expect from a cognac of this age. The surprise arrives immediately after, the first reassuring notes suddenly giving way to blackcurrant, to chiselled and captivating aromas, which suddenly burst, giving this cognac a whole new dimension.
