Grosperrin 1973 Brut de Fût

Description

This Cognac Millésimé comes from a family of notaries settled in Cognac for several generations. This 1973 Petite Champagne was part of the estate of the father, who had bequeathed his stock to his wife and son, a notary like himself. The father had bought this lot in January 1974 from one of his clients, who was then the president of one of the most important Cognac houses. This lot therefore comes from the distillery and cellars of a house still renowned today. Unfortunately, when the father died, the son and his mother no longer got on and the estate bogged down for many years, until the Cognacs Grosperrin proposed a solution. This is a very "sentimental" Cognac, which was stored under state control on January 25, 1974, in an old and very damp chai on the banks of the Charente, now the Musée du Cognac. Old gold, almost amber color. The nose is marked by gourmand notes of ripe plums, mirabelle plums, spices (cardamom, turmeric, black pepper) and exotic woods (warm cedar, sandalwood). Around all this, we find the characteristic rancio of old Cognacs close to maturity. On the palate, again this fruity (ripe plum, prune, cinnamon chocolate) and spicy (nutmeg, tobacco) greediness.
