Grosperrin Cognac De Collection 1991 Petite Champagne 47.2% 700ml

This vintage cognac comes from an auction organized by ORECO in 2012. \n \nFrom the 1960s until the early 1980s, individuals could invest in cognac barrels. The lots were stored under state control, and often forgotten for several decades. So much so that some owners haveÉ disappeared. Despite all the legal steps taken with the authorities, it was clear that t was no one left to claim these barrels. They were tfore auctioned off for the benefit of the storage organization, as decades of rent were sometimes due. The sale was organized by an auctioneer and two sworn brokers. This cognac is one of those truly forgotten barrels. \n \nAmber colour. Dense and rich nose, supported by notes of old balsamic vinegar. It seems older than its age, a sign of long aging in a draining cask, having caused healthy oxidation. Notes of red fruits bring freshness to this cognac. A creamy and very balanced palate, already with some rancio. Astonishing, and rare.
