This Frapin VIP XO boasts all of the marvelous qualities you'd expect from a Grande Champagne blend, delivering a harmonious orchestra of spicy and fruity notes to create a sensory symphony with every sip. Aged for 35 years, the Cognac has been harvested, aged, distilled, blended and bottled on-site at the Frapin estate to ensure the utmost quality and complete control over each individual aspect of the creative process.
Its moreish and elegant flavor profile means its the perfect companion to any VIP, it’s no wonder this was the only Cognac to be served on British Airways Concorde flights. Allow your tastebuds to travel in style in this timeless treat for the senses.
Taken from the older reserves on the family estate, this 35-year-old XO Cognac really is an exciting embodiment of all things Grande Champagne, reveling in its notoriety and (for many) superiorities on the Cognac scene.
Its 35-year aging process in humid cellars (arguably the most favorable conditions to produce a rich and complex profile) has resulted in a truly wondrous Cognac reserved for those VIPs who enjoy roundness and suppleness with every sip. XO VIP is an ode to the passion put behind its creation and flavor, a Cognac to be enjoyed by connoisseurs of all ages and experience.
Those more discerning Cognac drinkers with an experienced, refined palate will pick up a plethora of woody, fruity and spicy notes in the mouth and a whole host of other aromas on the nose.
Patrice Piveteau, Cellar Master of Frapin states: "This is a rich, complex and evolving cognac in which everyone will find their own aromatic references."
As this is an older Cognac, we prefer to enjoy it neat, but make sure to leave it for several minutes to aerate before taking your first sip, you'll find the flavors continue to evolve until the very last drop. The wintery warming spices and dried fruit flavors mean this is a perfect Cognac to bring out at Christmas time, enjoy it by a warm fire with close friends and family.
Frapin has also suggested blending their XO VIP into the "Cocktail VIP One", originally created in a bar in Dusseldorf, this cocktail is a blend of:
Stir ingredients for a minute in a large mixing glass filled with ice before straining into a martini glass.
This wonderfully round oval bottle bears all the hallmarks of what makes Frapin so popular amongst Cognac connoisseurs. From its unique shape to its golden stopper and gilded box, this XO is truly for those Very Important People in your life.
The bottle's round, barrel-like shape perfectly frames the Cognac's deep mahogany color, a fitting tribute to its 35 years stored in Limousin oak casks. The carafe equally comes with a golden case for display, gifting or storage purposes and contains explanatory notes.
I'm a Frapin fan. This cognac is worthy of praise. Very soft, without alcohol pressure on the receptors, fruit, chocolate, sweetness is present, but not excessive. The taste is multifaceted. The drink was consumed for 4 months and observed in development. The mood changed, the perception changed,...
De Frapin familie is al sinds 1270 actief in het Zuidwesten van Frankrijk. Altijd actief geweest op het gebied van wijnbouw, specialiseerden zij zich veel later in distillatie en zijn sindsdien gedurende eenentwintig generaties sterk gebleven! Het domein bezit 340 hectare grond, volledig in de Grande Champagne, waarvan er 240 met wijnstokken zijn beplant. Frapin's thuis in het prachtige kasteel Fontpinot in de stad Segonzac. Het beroemdste familielid was de 16e eeuwse schrijver Francois Rabelais, naar wie een prestigieuze Frapin Cognac fles is genoemd: De Cuvee Rabelais, tamelijk toepasselijk, is het huis van Frapin ook het enige Cognac domein dat toestemming heeft gekregen om zichzelf een Chateau te noemen binnen de gehele Grande Champagne cru. Naast vele andere onderscheidingen, was Frapin de eerste Cognac producent die een multi-vintage blend uitvond, waarbij vintages van verschillende wijnen worden gecombineerd om de perfecte smaak te creëren.
