RUDY GOBERT

COGNAC FRAPIN & RUDY GOBERT
A PARTNERSHIP THAT MAKES SENSE
The meeting between Rudy Gobert and Frapin was born through friendship. Gobert is a lover of old spirits. A connoisseur acquaintance of his offered him a bottle of Cognac Frapin Vintage 1992, his birth year. The magic of the tasting did the work… However, it was the meeting, in the flesh, at Frapin and a sharing of common values that sealed the deal.
For Rudy Gobert, the challenge is clearly to support a jewel of the French art of living, an “haute couture” cognac that embodies the values of excellence that he holds dear. For Frapin, the personality of the player and his reputation are an asset for developing contacts with the North American connoisseur public.
From July 2021, Rudy Gobert will become Frapin’s ambassador to North America, the perfect match to increase the presence of Frapin on the other side of the Atlantic and to support upcoming releases, including the Cognac Frapin VSOP.

long ageing in our cellars and the age-old expertise of
the Frapin family. Subtle aromas of orange, dried
apricots, gingerbread…
PALATE
Balance – finesse. The Cognac Frapin “Rudy Gobert
Edition” XO offers an exceptionally long finish in which
all the flavours combine in subtle, complex harmony. The
cognac reveals nutmeg notes and light vanilla from the
tannin in the wood and a harmonious bouquet with
lasting aromas of dried fruits and rancio.
PACKAGING
The packaging and the labels convey values of luxury
and modernity through the impression of matters like
wood, limestone, stainless steel and the mineral
brilliance of the citrine.

A "SUCCESS STORY"
IN THE SPIRIT OF CURRENT TIMES
Defense and efficient offense have been the Frapin’s family winning strategy since 1270. These bold and visionary winegrowers have consistently fought to safeguard and build an exceptional estate comprising 240 hectares of vineyards at the heart of the Grande Champagne region, Premier Cru du Cognac and its extraordinarily priceless stock of vintage eaux-de-vies. Excellence is the rule here: from craftsmanship, upmost care, talent and inspiration. Since the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889, Frapin has consistently won awards worldwide.
As one of the greatest, Frapin remains faithful to its everlasting values: nurturing one’s passion, remaining true to oneself and sharing and as a result is proud to share its values with the “Frenchy” Rudy Gobert.
RUDY GOBERT
NATURAL EXCELLENCE
In December of 2020, Rudy signed the richest deal for a center in the basketball league history. He has been an All-Star twice and named Defensive Player of the Year three times, in 2018, 2019 as well as this year of 2021. However, Gobert who stands 7 feet 1 inch, remains grounded and has the kindred spirit of a true gentleman. Trained like a precision mechanic, ambitious, demanding, the basketball star also remains deeply attached to the values of respect, work and pleasure.
Outside of his career, Rudy Gobert has a passion for food and occasionally strays from a rigorous diet. As he now collects superlatives, he remains extremely loyal to Utah, the state that fostered his growth. Still, Gobert isn’t shy either about his strong attachment to France and its art de vivre.
