Description

Frapin XO VIP Old Design Cognac

A rich, complex and evolving Cognac with an enticing array of aromas, VIP XO is a fine Frapin creation. A blend of eaux-de-vie from the finest region of the Cognac; Grande Champagne, it is of exceptional quality. VIP XO has pleasant floral notes and a beautiful aromatic complexity punctuated with subtle woody touches. Its overall elegance is typical of aged Cognacs from Grande Champagne.

Produced from a house with over twenty generations of expertise dating back to 1270, it is clear to see why the VIP XO offers a favorable array of aromas. Residing in 300 hectares within the fine Grande Champagne region every last detail of Frapin Cognac conveys quality and superiority. A remarkable Cognac, the VIP XO embodies the house’s heritage with contemporary chic and impressive adaptability. It harnesses an expression that every connoisseur will appreciate.

Presentation of the bottle

The sheer sophistication of this XO is evident at the first glance. Housed in a sphere decanter with an elegant gold top, simple swirl type and classic Frapin branding its eye-catching flair embody impressive memorability. Finished in a bold black and red display box, the power of its palate is beautifully conveyed down to the final detail. An exceptional gift to be showcased in a Cognac cabinet.

How to enjoy

Sip slowly to savor the rich complexity of the VIP XO’s array of aromas. Enjoy on its own as a post-dinner tipple to leave a sweet, memorable finish on the palate.

*Please note: This is the old pre-2016 design of Frapin VIP XO.

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.
