To store a Cognac Frapin decanter, it is essential to keep it in a room at ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight and protected from temperature fluctuations. The decanter must be stored upright to avoid prolonged contact with the cork, which could affect the quality of the Cognac. Additionally, make sure to tightly seal the decanter after each use to prevent the spirit from oxidizing.

The ideal glass for tasting cognac is the tulip glass. Its distinctive shape, narrow at the top and wider at the base, helps concentrate the cognac’s aromas towards the nose, enhancing the olfactory experience even before the first sip.
The terms VS, VSOP, XO, and XXO refer to different levels of cognac aging : VS (Very Special) : means that the cognac has been aged in barrels for at least 2 years.

Frapin cognacs benefit from a unique aging process in our cellars, where they are carefully aged in either humid or dry cellars. These aging methods impart a variety of aromas and complexities to our eaux-de-vie, setting them apart. Humid cellars have moderate evaporation, making the cognac rounder and smoother on the palate. Dry cellars experience higher evaporation, giving the cognac greater finesse and a longer finish.
