Frapin Carafe Limited Edition 750 Cognac
Frapin is celebrating its 750th anniversary with the release of 21 extremely rare bottles known as Frapin 750. The number honors the iconic house’s 21 generations of vine growers.
To create Frapin 750, Cellar Master Patrice Piveteau hand selected visited the Paradise Cellar at Chateau Fontpinot and sourced barrels dating from as far back as the 1800s. The Cognac will be housed in a limited-edition Baccarat carafe complete with two crystal tasting glasses engraved in Belle Époque-era grape vines with the Frapin 750 emblem. It all comes housed in a wood box with a drawer that contains a book, a sealed envelope, and a spot for a key.
This cognac has rich amber in color, is described as extremely delicate on the nose with aromas of prune, old port, and cocoa, along with notes of black tea, licorice, and wood. The palate delivers pear and quince along with more wood, nutmeg, and warm balsamic.
Piveteau unveiled the first Cognac he has created of his own design. “After working with Frapin for the past 29 years, I felt comfortable and brave enough to take the Frapin style to the next level by adding my strong influence on it”.
On June,2020 Cognac Frapin Millésime 1992 was named the best Cognac in the world at the Cognac Masters 2020. The French Brandy was awarded the title of Cognac Taste Master during the annual event, which took place at the Charlotte Street branch of Gaucho in London, England.
