Tasting Notes
Frapin's 1989 Grande Champagne Cognac is a vintage expression distilled in 1989 and aged for 20 years. Crafted exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from the western part of Frapin's vineyards, this Cognac showcases the unique terroir of the Grande Champagne region.
On the nose, it presents sweet vanilla and aromatic jasmine notes, leading to a palate with flavors of apricot and hints of old oak. The finish is exceptionally long, a hallmark of well-aged Grande Champagne Cognacs. - Aaron C
Frapin is located in the centre of the Grande Champagne Premier Cru du Cognac region in the sleepy little town of Segonzac, the finest designated region in Cognac. It is the only merchant located in the town and only sells Cognacs produced from grapes sourced from its own 778 acre estate in the heart of the Grande Champagne region. The Frapin family have been winegrowers since 1270 and mostly sold their Cognacs to Remy Martin, Hennessy, Courvoisier and other houses until the 1980's. Since 1984, when the Cointreau family took over what was then a forgotten brand, it has been selling increasing quantities of brandies. These brandies have been kept in new wood for longer than their competitors, so confident are they with the quality of it's brandies , the size of its stocks represent 18 years of sales (an amount of 2 to 3 times the quantity of the stocks held by its competitors). Frapin keeps its best cognacs in new oak for up to 2 and a half years, depending on the amount of colour (and therefore tannin) the spirit has absorbed. - Importer Note
