1973 Cognac - Petite Champagne

The house was founded by Jean Grosperrin in 1992 and belongs to an ever-shrinking group of independent and family-run Cognac houses. Jean has worked as a Cognac broker for many years, building close relationships with small farmers that have given him access to rare Cognac reserves. The idea of starting his own business stemmed from Jean’s growing frustration that unique and almost unobtainable distillates from small producers ended up in the hands of large Cognac houses only to be mixed beyond recognition. As a result, Jean has specialized in buying small batches of rare Cognacs with the help of his son Guilhem since 2004. These Cognacs are stored and bottled as separate batches without added caramel and without filtration.
