For the needs of his activity he will have to travel to the most confidential and remote places of this vast appellation area. He then sets off in search of the rarest and finest Cognac in the region. In 1999, he began buying \u003cstrong\u003eold Cognac barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which he found exceptional, in order to prevent them from ending up in giant blends. He carries out their bottling in an artisanal manner: the family will take care of it. The story of the Grosperrin house can then begin!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1204\" class=\"\"\u003eGuilhem Grosperrin, heir to a craft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1260\" class=\"\"\u003eBearing honest witness to Charentais heritage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"1661\" data-start=\"1313\"\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e2004,\u003c\/strong\u003e his son, \u003cstrong\u003eGuilhem,\u003c\/strong\u003e took over this \u003cstrong\u003ebusiness,\u003c\/strong\u003e and in this position, he adopted this motto: “testify without artifice to the Charentais heritage”.

Another particularity of this cellar is the presence of a bronze bell which will ring a perfect “F” every hour, a note symbolizing copper in alchemy, a metal naturally contained in cognac. Thus the latter will vibrate the cognac contained in the barrels throughout its aging, which according to Guilhem (and the scientific studies on which he is based) improves the maturation of these alcohols. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\" data-end=\"2925\" data-start=\"2886\"\u003eCognac, liquid memory of Charente\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"3230\" data-start=\"2926\"\u003eBecause Guilhem is a guardian of the temple and history of this \u003cstrong\u003eCharentais\u003c\/strong\u003e vineyard, he raises his \u003cstrong\u003eCognac \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e with the greatest attention to reveal their always unique personalities and stories.
