Cognac GROSPERRIN - n°71 - Petite Champagne - Lot n°934 - 52.2%
The Grosperrin House was created by Jean Grosperrin who arrived in Cognac in 1991 after occupying the positions of agricultural worker, shepherd and sheep shearer in the summer. In 1992, he became a country broker and set out to meet small farms in the region, in search of the rarest lots. But in 1999, he took a new turn and bought a few casks of old cognacs. Combined with its three stills, the story of Grosperrin Cognacs begins. In 2004, it is his son Guilhem who takes over the business. It constitutes stocks and enriches the cellars of exceptional Cognacs. Also, he select plots and initiates contracts with winegrowers . In 2012, he went to meet the foreign importers and thus develops a network of amateurs and collectors.
This Cognac Petite Champagne No.71 comes from an auction carried out for the benefit of two associations. André Bertandeau, winegrower who died in 2016, bequeathed his property and his oldest stocks to them. A survivor of the Buchenwald and Dora concentration camps, he never ceased to recall the ravages of war, populism and extremism throughout his life.
