描述
Frapin 1991 Vintage Château de Fontpinot Grande Champagne Cognac
The Frapin 1991 Vintage Château de Fontpinot Grande Champagne Cognac is a wonderful vintage offering by this artisan Cognac house. As the name suggests, it's from the Grande Champagne harvest of 1991 - a year that's become infamous in Cognac history as the year that frost eradicated much of the spoils of the harvest. Therefore, this is a rare and special year - one that any connoisseur will be delighted to have the opportunity to appreciate.
Produced solely from Ugni Blanc, the grapes for this Cognac were sourced from vines located in the south-eastern part of the Frapin vineyard, characterized by a chalky and clay soil and a crumbly chalky subsoil typical of the Grande Champagne region. The BNIC (Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac) guarantees the authenticity of the Cognac Frapin vintages by carefully monitoring the sealed casks as they rest in dry cellars for decades.
Initially a family of winegrowers, the Frapin family have been settled in south-west France since the 13th Century. After taking up the craft of distillation, they have kept up production of eaux-de-vie for a staggering 20 generations, and the current head of the company is a direct descendant of the founder. The family’s established headquarters is at the charming Château de Fontpinot, nestled among their vineyards in the heart of Grande Champagne.
Today, Frapin Cognacs are entirely harvested, distilled and aged at the Domaine and the family are fiercely proud of their single-estate status. The House of Frapin control every aspect of production and eschew scientific methods, instead relying on age-old traditions - as well as the extraordinary palate of their Cellar Master.

Presentation of the Decanter
Presented in a stylish, tall decanter with a long neck and deep punt, this vintage perfectly combines traditional elements with a modern touch. The silver foil matches the logo which adorns the front of the bottle, while the oxblood-red presentation tube perfectly highlights the deep color of this finely aged Cognac.
