Cognac Frapin VSOP Collector

This Collector’s Edition of the VSOP reimagines the decanter with a full-length sleeve featuring a vibrant, modern and refined design. Set against a backdrop of warm tones, it showcases the House’s symbols: the family coat of arms, the Château de Fontpinot, the Eiffel cellar, a quill in homage to François Rabelais, as well as the Grande Champagne terroir, the still and the barrel. It embodies the estate’s heritage, rooted in Grande Champagne, a 1er Cru of Cognac, and a tradition of expertise passed down through 22 generations.

The orange hue of Frapin VSOP is a testament to its ageing in Limousin oak casks. On the nose, there is a sense of complexity, with fruity aromas including orange and floral notes such as dried flowers. Subtle hints of vanilla are also present. Frapin VSOP displays a lovely aromatic intensity.

Frapin VSOP is beautifully harmonious. It is well-balanced, with a lingering finish characterised by fruity notes, particularly orange. The finish is spicy, with hints of cinnamon and pepper.

To pair with the following dishes, we place the Frapin VSOP carafe in the freezer for two days. As it cools, a magical transformation takes place: our VSOP cognac thickens, its aromas become more concentrated, and it develops a wonderful smoothness. Once at the table, the decanter and the cognac warm up and its subtle aromas are gradually revealed, with great finesse.
