Cognac Frapin – Trilogie N°1

Benefiting from a unique vineyard spanning 240 hectares at the heart of the prestigious Grande Champagne, Maison Frapin excels in the art of crafting exceptional vintage Cognacs.

At Frapin, time is a precious ally, inspiring passion and stimulating creativity. Following in the footsteps of the blends that have captivated the most discerning palates, the Maison presents the Frapin Trilogy, a limited series of 1600 bottles composed of three unparalleled Cognacs, true gems shaped by nature and human expertise. This trilogy evokes a connection between past, present, and future through an ephemeral aromatic palette of Cognac.

The Frapin Trilogy, series No. 1, is presented in a sleekly designed bottle, inspired by the glassware used by the Cellar Masters for generations. Its wooden case elegantly evokes the traditions of the estate.

This first Frapin Trilogy unveils a unique blend of three vintages distilled on lees: 1986, 1988, and 1990. It is the 1990 vintage, the youngest, that lends its structure to the ensemble, marked by the seal “32 years old”.

Awarded double gold and crowned Cognac of the year at the International Spirits Challenge 2023, this Cognac captivates with its charisma and the elegance of its aromatic palette. The subtlety and spicy notes are brought by the 1988 vintage, while the suppleness and balance are characteristic of the 1986 vintage.

The bright, orange-yellow robe catches the eye with its depth and vivacity. On the nose, delicate and indulgent fragrances invite a olfactory journey where aromas of candied orange, dried fig, gingerbread, and lightly caramelized apples mingle.

On the palate, the balance highlights the richness of the flavors. Round and opulent, notes of licorice and candied apricot are lifted by a hint of nutmeg. The harmony between fruit and spice is accompanied by subtle hints of cigar box, prolonged by generous and sensual nuances of rancio. The length on the palate attests to the old age and exceptional quality of this gustatory treasure.
