1968 Grande Champagne Cognac, 55 years old
In 1893 Jean Baptiste Peyrot first started caring for the Peyrot vineyard, which has since become known as ‘Les Bergeronnettes’. His daughter, Mathilde Peyrot-Barret took charge of the humble seven-acre vineyard in 1956, upgraded the still in 1967 and one year later created this 1968 vintage Cognac. It spent 55 long years maturing in a single French oak cask from the Limousin forest, prior to being bottled ‘brut de fut’ (natural cask strength).
