Vintage 1990 - 30 years
Single Family Estate
100 % Grande Champagne - Premier Cru de cognac
Elegant, supple and brilliant, the 1990 vintage is the fruit of a complex alchemy, a combination of a unique terroir, ancestral know-how and a passion for excellence. Fully signed Frapin by its voluptuous aromatic richness and its infinite length in the mouth, it is endowed with its own personality inherited from the climatic hazards of that year on the Chez Piet vineyard… Recollected, distilled on the lees and aged at the Domaine, the 1990 Vintage – 30 Years Old contains the sublime expression of our terroir located in the heart of the Grande Champagne.

Tasting tip:
By the grace of aeration in the glass, this cognac with its beautiful orange-yellow colour, will bring out the depth of the aromas acquired from a long 30 year sleep in dry cellars.
In 1990, within the 240 hectares of Domaine Frapin, embedded in the heart of the Grande Champagne, Premier Cru of Cognac, this vintage was born. In 1990, a grape full of promise was harvested. Behind the walls of the Domaine, it is distilled on the lees, doubly subjected to the test of fire and aged relentlessly until its soul is extracted. Then, under the control of the BNIC, the eau-de-vie, this pure gem, is entrusted to the secrecy of time and shadow, in the fragrant belly of three sealed barrels.
