Tasting Notes
Fine boned and elegantly structured with aromas of spice, fruits of the vine and brioche.Frapin Cognac is a family owned producer of premium Cognac. Using biodynamic principles in the vineyards and age old techniques in the cellars they craft what we consider to be truly fine Cognac.
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.
