A real treasure of Cognac Frapin, Fontpinot XO can lay claim to the Château appellation because it is made exclusively from grapes harvested, distilled, aged, and bottled at the Château Fontpinot. Distillation over lees and a long aging in dry cellars provide its distinct character.
With an average age of 20 years, this expression has a nose of candied fruit, marzipan, and rancio. The long aging brings toffee, almond butter, and spice to the palate before a long, elegant finish.
ABOUT COGNAC FRAPIN
Frapin is true single estate Cognac. The historic brand and iconic estate is family owned, and always has been. Every step of the process is done by Frapin themselves, from tending the vines to winemaking to distillation to aging, and no grapes nor eau de vie are bought/sold. The iconic estate is home to nearly 600 acres of Ugni Blanc vines and distillation takes place on the lees on one of six copper pot stills. Now in their 21st generation of grower-producers, the Frapin family has been active in viniculture for over 750 years.
