Dressed inside a crystal carafe fit for royalty, its presentation is uniquely crafted by Maison Frapin and is made from the Cristalleries Royales de Champagne, including a 24 carat gold element. With its curvaceous form and gold swirl spiral that surrounds it, the carafe itself is a fine work of art to be admired by those lucky enough to set eyes on it.

How to enjoy

Rare works of art like Cuvee 1888 Cognac deserve your utmost attention: pour gently into a tulip glass and let it rest for 30 seconds. Sip slowly and let the pure and intense aromas do the talking. For a slightly different tasting experience, add a small dash of mineral water to allow the tasting notes to open up even further. We recommend serving this special Cognac as a digestive at the end of a meal with a cigar.
