Succeeding generations of the FRAPIN family have been established in the Charente since 1270, where their destiny has been a truly extraordinary one. Anne Catherine FRAPIN was the mother of famed French writer FRANÇOIS RABELAIS. Pierre FRAPIN was apothecary to Louis XIV, who awarded him his coat-of-arms in 1696. A more recent Pierre FRAPIN founded the family firm in the last century. And it is his granddaughter, Geneviève, who presides over the destiny of the House today.
With its peerless vineyards lying on exceptional land, the FRAPIN Family Domain today extends over 300 hectares located exclusively in Grande Champagne, officially ranked Premier Cru du Cognac in 1904. Of the total, 200 hectares are planted in the distinctive “Ugni Blanc” stock. The FRAPIN vineyards are unique in terms both of size and location. Cognacs from Grande Champagne are the finest, the most intense, and the ones that age the best.
This gift pack will give you the opportunity to sample, with professional glasses, the VIP XO.
This FRAPIN XO quality, reserved for VIP (Very Important Persons), combines age, roundness, bouquet and finesse.
Amber old gold colour with a very rich bouquet with scents of spices and floral aromas specific to very old Grande Champagne distilled with the lees.
Extra Old quality enriched with much older Eaux-de-vie, from the family reserve, make this an exceptional Cognac.
Presented in an elegant glass decanter, reproducing a shape used in the 16th century. It is decorated with a golden frieze and topped with a 24 K gold gilded stopper. A red and gold gift-box completes the image of class and distinction.
