Cognac Frapin Extra
Extra
The Extra cuvée comes from the family’s ancestral reserve of the House. Exclusively harvested, distilled, and aged at the estate, Frapin Extra has matured in dry cellars for several decades in barrels preserved by Pierre FRAPIN and his descendants. Aesthetic and sensual, the Extra is a Cognac for those who appreciate what is simply exceptional, beautiful, and good.
Frapin Extra offers a beautiful mahogany color with warm coppery reflections. On the nose, it is very smooth, complex, and evolving, with subtle notes of old port mingled with the aromas of wooden cigar boxes, typical of old Grande Champagne, which emerge after a very long aging. Enchanting concentrated aromas of candied fruits, such as apricot, are noticeable
The palate is soft, velvety, rich, and indulgent, with an exceptional length where the flavors blend with subtlety and complexity. The nose notes are echoed, including the famous Rancio (oxidative notes) attributed to Grande Champagne distilled on the lees and aged for several decades. To be savored alone or paired for a special tasting moment cherished by both enthusiasts and connoisseurs. An exceptional digestif due to its fruitiness and finesse. « Souplesse, longueur en bouche exceptionnelle, peut se déguster à l’infini ! ». Patrice Piveteau, Maître de Chai
