Tasting Notes

Cepages translates from French as ‘grape varieties’, and refers to the three different grape strains used in this Cognac bottling. These grapes are: Colombard, Folle Blanche and Ugni Blanc. Each grape provides something different: Colombard provides power and depth, Ugni Blanc gives structure and balance, and Folle Blanche lends high tones and finesse. Grosperrin are better known for bottling ultra specific, single varietal Cognacs, so this is an interesting step from the producer. Each of the grapes used to make this Cognac come from the premier cru of Grande Champagne. This Cognac contains a blend of several vintages, from 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. After distillation, the spirit was aged for a minimum of 4 years in French oak casks. The final product delivers notes of fresh bright grapes, apples, some acacia honey, dried flowers, peppery spice, vanilla, creamy butter, spiced oak, and toffee. Once again, Grosperrin have produced a VSOP that is a cut above other Cognacs in this age grade.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Grosperrin VSOP Grande Champagne Cognac is a blend of four vintages — 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 — with the youngest component exceeding five years of age. The blend draws on three Cognac grape varieties: Colombard, which contributes power and body; Folle Blanche, which adds finesse and floral character; and Ugni Blanc, which provides the structural acidity that underpins the blend. Distilled in traditional Charentais copper pot stills and aged in French oak in Saintes, the cognac is bottled at 42% ABV without added colour or sugar, and without chill-filtration — as sourced from small-scale Grande Champagne producers.

Provenance

Grosperrin is an independent négociant house based in Saintes, Charente-Maritime, founded by Jean Grosperrin in 1999 following years in the wine and spirits trade. Jean's son Guilhelm took over the business in 2004 at the age of 23 and has continued the family's approach of sourcing exclusively from small-scale producers across the Cognac crus. Grosperrin releases no cognac with added sugar, caramel colour, or chill-filtration — a rarity in the Cognac trade. This VSOP expression draws entirely from Grande Champagne — the premier growth terroir of the Cognac region — characterised by its Campanian chalk soils and long-ageing potential.
