Cognac Frapin – Cigar Blend XO Grand Champ. 1er Cru 70 cl. 40%

Premium Quality Cognac – Frapin

The district
Bordeaux’s immediate northern neighbor, Cognac, is probably the world’s best-known district for the production of brandy – and this since the 15th century. However, it was not until 1860 that the French geologist Coquand and his assistant made a division of the area according to the soil conditions and discovered that the quality of Cognac was closely linked to precisely the type of soil. 6 areas were then determined, with the best – Grande Champagne – located in the middle of the area. The name comes from the Champagne district further north and is due to the fact that in the area you find a lot
chalky soil similar to that of the famous French wine region. The chalk makes up approx. 35% in the upper layer and up to approx. 80% further down. And in Cognac as in Champagne, this soil type gives finesse and charm.
The producer Few companies in Cognac can – like the Frapin family – carry the tradition of cognac production all the way back to the year 1270. Cognac Frapin has the rare honor of being the largest vineyard owner in the Grande Champagne district. In addition to the 200 ha. vineyards, all of which are located in the Grande Champagne area, Frapin also owns one of the finest and most famous properties in the 1st Cru: Château Fontpinot on 147 ha. You can’t imagine a better location. Château Fontpinot is both one of the most remarkable and one of the largest estates. One explanation for the exquisite product is the art that lies in mixing cognac. Even Frapin’s 1270 – the most modest of the company’s cognac series – is composed exclusively of Grande Champagne cognac, and VSOP can additionally boast the designation 1. Cru du Cognac. Over the centuries, Cognac Frapin has built up a long tradition of
good craftsmanship and stability in production, which is why they have a good reputation as a great distiller of luxury cognac. The
successive vintages of the production are distilled on site in traditional pot style. The cognac is then aged in oak barrels made of wood from the well-known Limousin forest.
