Frapin

Installed in southwest France since 1270, the Frapin family has been winemakers, then distillers for over twenty generations, owning a 240-hectare Vineyard in Grande Champagne.

It's Grande Champagne, classified as Premier Cru in the Cognac Region, that will become the chosen land of this family settled at Château de Fontpinot.

In its family tree, the Frapin family includes the famous 16th-century writer Antoine Rabelais. In a nod to history, Maison Frapin's logo features the writer's golden feather.

The wines are distilled with the lees at Frapin. After the traditional double distillation known as "Charentaise", the newly distilled eaux de vie are housed for a quarter in new barrels and for the rest in red or older barrels.

The Frapin house produces a wide range of Cognacs, the oldest of which date back to 1888.

Description Frapin Extra.

The Frapin House has been established in the heart of the Grande Champagne region, Premier Cru of the Cognac region, since the 13th century.

The Extra comes from the family ancestral reserve of the House, exclusively harvested, distilled and aged at the Chateau...

Beautiful mahogany color with warm copper reflections.

In the nose : supple, complex and evolving with subtle notes of candied fruits such as Ente plum or Crete apricot, leather, musk mixed with the scent of cedar of Lebanon cigar boxes typical of old Grande Champagne with a very long finish, a proof of its very long aging.

The mouth is round, mellow, rich, greedy and its length exceptional, the flavors melting with subtlety and complexity.

A rare, limited edition, presented in a numbered decanter with a sumptuous box.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
