Grosperrin N°45 Brut de Fût

Description

This remarkable lot is one of the very Rares in our collection to come from a merchant-distiller. This important and reputable house, which was long owned by a Japanese spirits group has offloaded some old Cognac casks, for unknown reasons. This highly confidential transaction was carried out during the year via a sworn broker. Old gold dress. On the nose, the natural character of Fins Bois comes through unvarnished, with notes of eXOtic fruit, lime blossom honey, all enhanced by chalky notes, very clear. The alcohol level is high, the balsamic side of the rancios is starting to assert itself. Notes of aging, mushrooms, old cellars, testify to the great age of this Cognac, which has nevertheless remained lively and fresh. On the palate, the attack is straightforward, oily, very well balanced. You can barely feel the degree. Then the rancios express themselves, fully, with a certain purity in this Fins Bois. The finish is very long, rather dense. A superb Cognac that will delight lovers of this cru.
