N° 52/22 Fins Bois Cognac Grosperrin
This rare Cognac comes from the commune of La Brousse, near Matha, from a small estate.
The current producer, born in 1952, still has cognacs distilled by his father and grandfather. It was only in 1950 that the property was equipped with a traditional 16 hectolitre still which was then wood-fired.
This cognac is the result of the blending of two batches, carried out on the advice of a major Cognac house, by the winegrower himself. It was bottled in bottles during the year 2000.
Description
An amber colour.
Straight and clean, nose of old Fins Bois, with a delicate rancio, but what strikes you is the intensity of the red fruit notes, blackcurrant buds, redcurrant, cherry.
The nose is of a rare quality, with a complexity that cannot be forgotten.
On the palate, the attack is straightforward, almost easy, and unsurprisingly gives the spicy notes (sandalwood, cedar, pepper) that one would expect from a cognac of this age. The surprise comes immediately afterwards... the first reassuring notes suddenly give way to blackcurrant, to chiselled and bewitching aromas, which suddenly explode, giving this cognac a whole new dimension.
The finish is long and complex!
Superb!
