Description
From the family history, to its unrivalled terroir, Frapin VSOP Grande Champagne Fathers Day Cognac is outstanding in every way possible. Made on the family estate, within its own distillery and its own cellars, this V.S.O.P is the result of know-how passed on from generation to generation. Aged in Limousin oak barrels, Frapin VSOP fulfilled its maturation process in the Frapin cellars until the best possible balance was achieved. While it will receive optimal enjoyment when shared with the family on Fathers Day, Frapin VSOP Cognac is blissfully appreciated whatever the occasion. Serve this versatile VSOP as an aperitif, during meal or digestive.
Settled in Charente since 1270, the house of Frapin spans over 240 hectares of exceptional vineyards in the heart of the grand Champagne. From the premier cru of Cognac, Frapin VSOP blends exquisite eaux-de-vie of premium quality, creating a Cognac packed with floral fragrance and fruity flavors.
Designed in true Frapin style, the exclusive Fathers Day VSOP creation combines character with daring design initiative. In doing so, Maison Frapin once again demonstrates its capacity for innovation while perpetuating the values of noble French tradition between excellent craftsmanship and unique know-how.
Presentation of the bottle
Highlighting its intense orange color, the tone of this decadent Cognac is a testimony to its maturation in Limousin oak barrels. The Frapin Father Day VSOP arrives in an elegant and contemporary decanter, which was inspired by the contemporary design of Frapin’s V.I.P XO Carafe. Embodying the spirit of the brand, this product stands out as an ideal gift idea for dads who love exceptional Cognac.
How to enjoy
While this VSOP is a truly versatile Cognac wonder, the house of Frapin recommends using it as the base of a cocktail. Try mixing up their “Papounet Cocktail”:
Ingredients:
- 1 cl of Monin Yuzu fruit
- 1 cl of Saint Germain liqueur
- 5 cl of Frapin VSOP Cognac
- 2 wedges of lime
- 4 basil leaves Crushed ice
- 5 cl of Pimento (ginger ale, chilli)
Using a cocktail shaker, begin by adding the crushed ice, wedges of lime and basil leaves. Next pour in the Frapin VSOP Cognac, Saint Germain liqueur and the Monin Yuzi fruit. Shake well and then slowly pour into a tumbler filled with ice cubes. Top up the cocktail with Pimento or ginger ale.
About Frapin Cognac
The Frapin family has been around the Southwest of France since 1270. Always active in the domain of winegrowing, they specialized in distillation much later on and have since continued to stand strong throughout twenty one generations! The estate owns 340 hectares of land entirely in the Grande Champagne area, of which 240 are planted with vines. Frapin’s home in the beautiful castle Fontpinot in the town of Segonzac. The most famous family member was the 16th century author Francois Rabelais, after whom a prestigious Frapin Cognac bottle is named: The Cuvee Rabelais, rather fittingly, the house of Frapin is also the only Cognac estate granted permission to call itself a Chateau within the entire Grande Champagne cru. Alongside many other accolades, Frapin was the first Cognac producer to invent a multi-vintage blend, combining vintages of different years to create the perfect taste.
