While some producers blend batches of different origins to create quality products, independent family business Grosperrin Cognac takes a different approach, crafting rare cognacs unique to their terroir and history, each with its own character. Founder Jean Grosperrin became a distiller in 1981 and traveled around France with his three pot stills, working on farms as a shepherd during the summer, and distilling-for-hire in the winter. He eventually arrived in Cognac in the early 1990s, where, after spending time in the region, he grew increasingly frustrated seeing special batches disappear into massive blends. So in 1999, Jean bought a few casks of old stock and bottled them on a small scale. And he told the story of each batch – shocking for Cognac – and even listed age statements on the bottle. Grosperrin Cognac was born. In 2004, Jean retired and son Guilhem took over operations "with a passionate desire to reveal the intrinsic spirit of Charente heritage," which became his motto. From the producer, "The soil composition influences the humidity content and the quality of the wines. Because of their constant moderate humidity, the slopes of the Bons Bois or Bois Ordinaires produce some remarkable cognacs."
