That year, in the heart of the Grande Champagne, the vineyards exuded abundance. On the hillsides of the Château Fontpinot, harvest occurred at a perfect time when grapes had a high level of acidity and low levels of alcohol. These are essential conditions to ensure the concentration of aromas before the heating time.
The BNIC (Cognac’s regulatory authority) guarantees the authenticity of all Frapin single vintage cognacs. Each cask is sealed with wax and can only be opened under their supervision.
