Grosperrin 12 year Borderies Cognac (700ml)

Grosperrin Cognac’s roots may remain firmly in its 18th-century brokerage past, but today it offers a ground-breaking range of products not found anywhere else in Cognac. In 2004, Guilhem took over the company with a passionate desire to reveal the intrinsic spirit of Charente heritage, which became his motto.

This Cognac was produced in the Burie region by two brothers, now retired, who cultivated their vines in a traditional way, without fertilizer, and with a minimum of treatments.

Passionate about bio-diversity and traditions, not hesitating to pass for originals in the eyes of their neighbours, they vinified their wines with indigenous yeasts, aged them on lees, and until their retirement they distilled their production in using a small still heated over a wood fire.

Colour & bouquet

Already amber color. Lots of amount for this cognac, supported by a high degree. On the nose, notes both mineral and rancid, with a floral touch, narcissus, daffodil. There is amplitude, light waxed and tertiary notes emerge.

Palate:

On the palate, the attack is lively, frank, the mineral side of the Borderies is fully expressed, with even a flint side. Aromatic power, but well balanced, there is no burning or stinging. The first rancios are present, they give relief to this cognac, and almost a smoky side. Floral notes return in retroolfaction. The finish is long, the youthful pastry side has disappeared. An emotional cognac.
