Maison Frapin has been located in the heart of Grande Champagne in Segonzac for many generations.
Distilled with the lees, the XO VIP is then aged at the Domaine in damp cellars for several decades, which will give it all its roundness and suppleness.
The XO VIP carafe was inspired by the encounter between a perfume bottle and an inkwell. Subtle alliance of the elegant fragrance of this XO and the love of the letters of Maison Frapin, a distant heritage of a prestigious ancestor, François Rabelais.
He comes from the old reserves of the family.
Color: Cognac with golden tones, rich in natural purity.
On the nose, it is distinguished by pleasant floral notes and a beautiful aromatic complexity punctuated by subtle woody touches.
An elegant set typical of old Cognacs from Grande Champagne.
On the palate: after the olfactory delicacy, the power on the palate offers an anthology of flavors, revealing in turn notes of chocolate, dried fruit, candied fruit, gingerbread ...
The expression is sophisticated, complex, deep, without ever losing the original freshness of the fruit.
