Frapin - Cognac Grande Champagne 'VSOP' 700 ml

Grape

100% Ugni Blanc

Tasting notes

Produced exclusively from the wine-making estate at the heart of Cognac’s Premier Cru, this VSOP benefits from the age-old traditional expertise of the Frapin family. Harvested, distilled over lees and aged on the domaine, it writes a new chapter of its history with a new decanter bringing elegance, refinement and roundness

Its orange colour bears witness to its time ageing in Limousin oak barrels. The bouquet is complex, fruity with orange and floral with dried flowers. Discreet notes of vanilla are revealed. This Frapin VSOP offers a wonderful aromatic intensity. Frapin VSOP is very harmonious. It is balanced with persistent flavours, including fruity orange notes. The finish is spicy with notes of cinnamon or pepper.

“The quintessential expression of the Frapin style. A cognac that can combine with anything at any time, as an aperitif, during a meal or after dinner.” Patrice Piveteau, Cellar Master

How to Enjoy

With the following meals we place the carafe of VSOP cognac in the freezer. The cold produces an alchemy in which the cognac thickens, its aromas are confined and the sweetness is sealed in. Once on the table, the carafe and the cognac warm up and the subtle aromas are gradually revealed, moment by moment.

Some examples :
– Fried liver with spicy bigarade, duck juice Nepal pepper
– Compression of duck foie gras with potatoes and artichoke, duck breast fillet
– Salmon tartare, herb salad
– Smoked sea bass, herring caviar cream
