Frapin Cognac 25 Year Old 700ml 1995

Frapin Cognac 25 Year Old is a single-harvest Grande Champagne bottled at 41.4% after a quarter century in Limousin oak.

Grande Champagne is the first cru of Cognac, soft Campanian chalk whose eaux-de-vie mature slowly and live longest of all the region's crus. Frapin is unusual in drawing solely on vineyard it owns, some 240 hectares of Ugni Blanc around the Château de Fontpinot at Segonzac, where the family has farmed since 1270 and where everything from growing to bottling takes place. The base wine is distilled on its lees in small copper pot stills, and the eaux-de-vie age in Limousin oak in the estate's own humid cellars. A vintage cognac is the product of one harvest alone rather than a blend across years, and French law requires such stocks to be held apart in a sealed cellar under customs supervision so the claim can be verified at bottling. This one was drawn off at 41.4%.

A cognac for slow drinking on its own, or with a cigar or dark chocolate; serve at room temperature in a small tulip glass.
