About this SPIRIT
Frapin
The Frapin family can trace their roots in the Cognac region to 1210. They began as vine-growers, and then began distilling their own spirits. Frapin is now in the enviable position of being the largest single-estate in the Grande Champagne region of Cognac, with generations of experience and tradition on which to draw. In early 2007, Jean-Pierre Cointreau took over the running of the business.
The estate covers 300ha of vineyards, officially listed as Premier Grand Cru du Cognac. Two hundred hectares are planted to Ugni Blanc. The soil here is identical to that found in Reims - crumbly, chalky, hence the area's name 'Grande Champagne'.
Frapin is renowned for its intense, wonderfully balanced and flavoursome cognacs. These are rich, long-lived spirts that display extraordinary complexity of aroma and depth of flavour. Each individual spirit is left to mature to its own optimum condition. The fairly small scale of production also allows the family to hold generous stocks of mature spirits.

Description
Winner of two prestigious awards in the 2013 International Spirits Challenge: Gold Medal and Best Cognac, the 1991 vintage from Cognac Frapin repeats the success of Frapin Le Multimillésime in the same competition in 2008 and 2010. The 1991 vintage has been produced in a limited quantity and it is a hallmark of the Frapin style, owing to its distillation on the lees in 6 red copper stills.
