Additional Info: 

This cognac is the result of a blend from cognacs distilled by André and Claude Thorin. 

The ageing process comes in two parts. First, the cognac is stored in new Limousin oak barrels, for one year, then its transfered into old oak barrels. This long maturation allows to our cognacs to develop a lot of aromas. During this ageing, it produces a slow evaporation, called poetically « La Part des Anges » and it is an essential element for the aromatic development of our cognacs.

Founded in 1867 by Louis Grimaud, the vineyard was only composed at the beginning of few acres situated in Segonzac, in the most prestigious Cognac region, the Grande Champagne. But a few years later, the domain like all the cognac region is ravaged by the phylloxera. It needed numerous years to Louis Grimaud to reconstruct his vineyard. His son in law, Pierre Thorin, helped him to.

Grande Champagne is located just to the south of Cognac town, sandwiched between the Charente river and its tributary, the Né. The famous village of Segonzac, encircled by vines for miles in every direction, lies right at its heart.
