This Grosperrin 1989 Fins Bois is a vintage cognac sold by a distillery in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente. It was the intermediary between the winegrower and the Grosperrin trading house. The lot actually comes from a small estate several kilometers away, in Brie-sous-Matha, on clay-limestone terroirs.
With a winegrowing history stretching back almost a thousand years, this quiet village is renowned for the quality of its vineyards. The winegrower had saved his 1989 harvest in the face of the economic crisis that had hit the region hard from 1992 onwards. Sales had collapsed, and many winegrowers had been forced to hold on to previous years' harvests for lack of buyers.
After acquiring this batch, which had been stored in wet cellars, the cognac continued its ageing in Saintes, in the cellars of the Grosperrin firm.
It was bottled in March 2021, without any special treatment or addition of any other element.
