Tasting Notes
Its warm, golden highlights give it a beautiful straw colour, bearing witness to its time in new Limousin oak barrels. Aromas of vine and lime blossom, with a light touch of vanilla from its ageing in Limousin barrels promise the aromatic richness characteristic of a great cognac. Roundness, finesse and balance. Length on the palate due to a very special distillation over fine lees, with slight vanilla or toast notes, adding a touch of freshness and originality. - Importer Note
Frapin is one of Cognac’s most historic and esteemed houses, with roots dating back to 1270 and a family lineage of winegrowers and distillers spanning over twenty generations. Based in Segonzac, at the heart of the Grande Champagne cru—the most prized of Cognac’s vineyard areas—the estate encompasses over 240 hectares of vines, all in a single contiguous block. This exclusive focus on Grande Champagne terroir gives Frapin’s eaux-de-vie their renowned finesse, complexity and remarkable ageing potential.
Viticulture is conducted sustainably, with close attention to soil vitality and fruit quality, ensuring the Ugni Blanc grapes yield fresh, aromatic base wines. Distillation is carried out on the lees in traditional copper pot stills, lending body and depth to the spirit. Ageing takes place in Frapin’s extensive cellars, using a combination of dry and humid conditions to balance intensity with roundness.
The house style is elegant and expressive, favouring finesse, floral lift and length over sheer power. From vibrant VS and VSOP expressions to profound, long-aged Hors d’Âge and vintage bottlings, Frapin Cognac reflects both the family’s deep heritage and the singular character of Grande Champagne.
