Grosperrin Petite Champagne 1929 / 1947 / 1870 pr-phy (officially 40%) 37.8%

Nose: Grape cotton candy puffs. Oh boy, I don’t love more floral notes personally, but those present here are really lovely, violets, rose hips, honey blossom, orange blossom water, classic king cake, wet oats, packing tape, wintergreen berries, mountain blueberries, dusting of cinnamon, butter poached apples

Palate: Blueberry white tea, agave syrup, lemon peel aged in white spirit, mirabel, white raisins, juniper on the long finish, gentle and delicate, wood integration is also great here given the softness of the spirit–present but not overpowering, tingling on the mouth in the finish with little flavor. Passionfruit.

Rating: 6 / 10 – a playful and elegant slice of history
