Cognac GROSPERRIN - Grande Champagne 1970
Maison Grosperrin was created by Jean Grosperrin who arrived in Cognac in 1991 after having occupied the positions of agricultural worker, shepherd and sheep shearer during summer. In 1992, he became a field broker and set off to meet small farms in the region, in search of the rarest lots. But in 1999, he took a new turn and bought some barrels of old cognacs. Combined with his three stills, the history of Grosperrin Cognacs begins.
In 2004, his son Guilhem took over the business. He builds up stocks and enriches the cellar with exceptional Cognacs. Also, he selects plots and initiates contracts with winegrowers. In 2012, he went to meet foreign importers and thus developed a network of amateurs and collectors.
Grande Champagne 1970 was aged in very old barrels, then aged in recent years in a winery in Saintes, on the edge of the Charente.
