Tasting Notes and Characteristics:The first sip of Cognac Frapin Extra envelops you in a velvet embrace, its deep amber hue hinting at decades of patient aging in the heart of France. With an alcohol by volume of 40.00%, this exceptional cognac unfurls layers of dried apricot, toasted hazelnut, and subtle cigar box on the nose, followed by a palate that glides from candied orange peel to warm baking spices and honeyed oak. Crafted exclusively from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in Grande Champagne’s chalky soils, Frapin Extra is a testament to time-honored distillation and long maturation in Limousin oak casks. It finds its perfect match alongside silky foie gras or rich dark chocolate, each bite amplifying the spirit’s complexity and lingering finish.Producer Information: FrapinFrapin, rooted in the heart of Grande Champagne near Segonzac, traces its origins to 1270 when the Frapin family began cultivating vines in this premier cru of Cognac. Over twenty generations, they have maintained a singular focus on estate-grown Ugni Blanc grapes, overseeing every stage from vineyard to distillation and aging within their historic cellars. Their philosophy centers on capturing the unique chalky terroir of Grande Champagne through traditional copper pot stills and extended maturation in Limousin oak casks, resulting in complex eaux-de-vie with remarkable finesse. While Frapin is celebrated for its Cognacs that reflect the purity of their single-estate approach, they do not diversify into other wines or spirits, dedicating all resources to perfecting their signature expressions from this prestigious region.
