This Cognac comes from a very small estate in St-Pierre-d'Oléron, whose owner is now retired. Covered in rare greenery including mimosa and tamarisk, this place has earned the nickname of The Island of Herbs. Grosperrin N°90 Bois Ordinaires de l'Ile d'Oléron Cognac has been born of a sandy terroir, exposed to the Atlantic Ocean spray and benefitting from the influence of the Gulf Stream and almost Mediterranean sunshine.
Long ageing in a very small humid cellar located on the Ile d'Oléron, just a stone's throw from the ocean, has allowed this eaux-de-vie to develop into an outstanding Hors d’Age expression. It is presented at a cask strength of 46.2% ABV for an intense and full-bodied tasting experience.
As always, Grosperrin has opted for a flawless look when it comes to packaging. The tall, elegant bottle features a detailed label and a slim neck topped with a natural wood stopper. Of course, the bottle is presented in a beautifully polished wooden box engraved with the Jean Grosperrin name.
After letting this Cognac breathe, the wild character and maritime influence will express themselves to the fullest, providing the lucky drinker with a truly memorable and unique tasting experience. An excellent match for seafood dishes - try it with oysters or shellfish with samphire.
