COLOUR AND BOUQUET
Brilliant, orange-yellow, the dress flatters the eyes with a joyful glow.
The nose has delicate candied fruits aromas dominated
by orange nuances. Subtle dried fruits notes like dried
fig underscore everything. Finesse and elegance
conclude this vintage.
PALATE
In the mouth it is powerful yet incredibly elegant and
balanced. Candied fruits notes like orange are
complemented with hints of liquorice and cinnamon. The
palate continues with a lingering rancio character and cigar boxes which persist through to the finish.
In 1990, within the 240 hectares of Domaine Frapin, embedded in the heart of the Grande Champagne, Premier Cru du 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.
