What it tastes like.

This very old cognac comes from a joint-possession which was established at the death of the winegrower many years ago. His widow and children manage the inheritance with prudence and patience, in memory of this man. One of the grandsons took over the estate and it is now flourishing as one of the most important in the Borderies region. The Grandfathers stock is however managed separately, and kept in a cellar in the centre of the village of Burie, located in the heart of the Borderies. We became the owners of this exceptional cognac through a certified broker. It has since then aged in our cellar in Saintes, on the bank of the Charente river, where a small water reduction was carried out over 2 years ago.

Old gold colour, amber highlights. The first floral nose, typical of the Borderies expresses itself clearly, with notes of violet sweets (they do exist, in France at least!), dried flowers, spicy roses. The second nose is more profound, denser, and we distinguish an elegant rancio, but without too much woodiness, induced by the oxidation of the fat contained in the alcohol, which time has made noble. The spices are more intense, cigar boxes, liquorice, more mature. The attack is frank, mineral on the palate, we are immediately touched by the quality of the cognac. It develops in a powerful and yet contained way, the texture reveals itself as being quite oily. The long finish takes us back to the aromas perceived on the nose. Very elegant, a beautiful Borderies.

About Grosperrin.

Cognac (Saintes — between Fins Bois and Borderies) ·Est. 1999

Cognac Grosperrin is an independent Cognac house founded in 1999 by Jean Grosperrin, who had worked in the Cognac trade as a distiller and broker for nearly two decades before launching his own venture. Frustrated by exceptional Cognac batches being absorbed into mass-market blends, Jean began bottling rare casks under his own label as Cognac de Collection — vintage-specific, cask-strength single-batch releases. His son Guilhem took over in 2004 at age 23. The house operates from Saintes, between the Fins Bois and Borderies sub-appellations of Cognac.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Grosperrin

Cognac (Saintes — between Fins Bois and Borderies)

Jean Grosperrin began his career as a distiller in Lorraine in the early 1980s, before moving south to Cognac to work as a distiller and then as a broker — the trade role of finding old Cognac stocks held by small estate-distillers and matching them with houses needing inventory. In 1994 he transitioned into wholesale, and in 1999 he set up Cognac Grosperrin as his own house. The founding decision was a reaction against the standard Cognac trade model: rare batches of old eaux-de-vie that had been carefully aged by individual estates were routinely absorbed into the commercial multi-estate blends of the major houses, losing their vintage and provenance specificity.

Grosperrin's model is to bottle each acquired batch separately under its original vintage and Cru classification — Bons Bois, Fins Bois, Petite Champagne, Grande Champagne, Borderies — and to release them at cask strength rather than reduced to commercial proof. The labels carry distillation year and the cellar history. Jean's son Guilhem took over in 2004 at 23 years old; in 2013 Axelle Grosperrin joined as brand representative. The current cellar holds Cognacs distilled from the 1940s onwards, with ongoing releases of rare twentieth-century vintage stocks the family has acquired across the founding-and-now-25-year history.
