2001 Bio - Fins Bois - Cognac Grosperrin

This vintage Cognac comes from a farm of about twenty hectares of vines called « La Petite Chapelle », located in the commune of Champmillon. The two plots that produced this Cognac have been cultivated organically since 1990 by a single woman, who took over her father's activity when he died. It is therefore one of the oldest organic productions in the Cognac region, which counts about sixty organic farms today (out of about 5000 !), some of them are very small. This Cognac was aged in the small old cellar of the farm, whose walls were semi-buried. The barrels could not be removed with the eau-de-vie because the door was closed. It was therefore necessary to enter through the window and pump the batch into a tank, which was done in the presence of a bailiff.
