品酒笔记

Eye: Deep mahogany

Nose: Rich stewed fruits such as apples, raisins and dates as well as dried fruits such as apricots and candied oranges. Heady aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg, with hints of clove, pepper, coriander and cumin.

Palate: Powerful on the palate, with sticky dates and Christmas-cake spices accentuated by notes of root ginger and glacé fruits. A rich and refined taste balanced by a pronounced fruitiness with hints of chocolate, a finish of dry spices and gingerbread lingers on the tongue.

Frapin VIP XO Cognac - A Grande Champagne Stunner for Connoisseurs

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." 

How to Enjoy

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:

  • Frapin XO VIP
  • - 1.5 fl oz. St Germain Elderflower Liqueur
  • - 0.5 fl oz. Orange Curaçao
  • - 1 fl oz. Water (through dilution from stirring the ice)
  • - 0.75 fl oz. 2 dashes of chocolate bitters.

Stir ingredients for a minute in a large mixing glass filled with ice before straining into a martini glass.

Presentation of the Bottle:

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.

About 法拉宾干邑

自1270年以来,法拉宾家族一直在法国西南部。他们在葡萄种植领域一直很活跃,后致力于蒸馏工序,并一直发展强劲,这得益于前后二十几代人孜孜不倦的努力!该庄园总共拥有300公顷的土地,全部位于大香槟区,其中200公顷用于种植葡萄。法拉宾干邑总部坐落在赛贡扎克镇的Fontpinot城堡。最著名的家族成员是16世纪的作家弗朗索瓦·拉伯雷(Francois Rabelais),著名的拉伯雷干邑就是以他命名的。像其他干邑生产商一样,法拉宾也需要通过多元化经营来拓展业务,比如巧克力或咖啡。法拉宾也是第一家首创多年份酒调配工艺的干邑生产商:将不同年份的干邑混合以创造出完美的口感。
