Grosperrin N°90 Brut de fût
Grosperrin
Description
A Cognac from a small village in Grande Champagne called Verrières. It is a blended cognac coming exclusively from the Grande Champagne, classified as Premier Cru de Cognac, placed at the top of the qualitative hierarchy of the 6 Terroirs of Cognac: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois and Bois éloignés (the latter being the furthest from the heart of the delimited Cognac region). This cognac comes from a small village called Verrières, nestled in the heart of the Grande Champagne. It is one of the small terroirs of this tiny area known for its very calcareous soils, an essential element to achieve the quality of the grapes and the wines which, after distillation and aging in French oak barrels, will give exceptional qualities. The color is amber with some bright reflections of Cuban mahogany. In the nose, very nice sensations of white spring flowers like cherry blossom, pear or apple tree, followed by freshly cut grass scents like alfalfa, sainfoin, followed by some hints of Virginia blond tobacco, musk and leather, to finish with a nice length of undergrowth. In the mouth: a remarkable alliance of candied fruits such as ente plum with elegant hints of mirabelle plum, apricot, and fig. The final is powerful and very long, mixing, in perfect balance, the olfactory and the gustatory. The bottles will be kept upright, stored in a cellar away from light and noise with an optimal hygrometric degree of about 70%. Food pairing : magnificent as a long drink with a citrus schweppes, splendid with a perrier on ice cubes. It will also go very well with a chocolate fondant and a coffee from Brazil or Ethiopia, revealed by a Monte Cristo or a Cohiba.
