- Description
- Grosperrin's 1972 Grande Champagne Cognac, distilled in Saintes and bottled by Decadent Drinks in 2022 after 50 years of maturation, represents a rare snapshot of mid-20th century eaux-de-vie craftsmanship. The nose reveals soft honey and maple with dark fruit undertones, while the palate develops orchard fruit character, black pepper spice, and creamy lemon notes. Rich and layered with considerable age complexity, this is a contemplative Cognac for those with patience and appreciation for mature spirits.
