Frapin Cognac 26 Year Old 700ml 1992

Frapin Cognac 26 Year Old is a single-harvest Grande Champagne bottled at 41.2% from one year's distillation alone.

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. Vintage cognac is rare because the stock must be held apart in a sealed cellar under customs supervision so that the single-harvest claim can be verified at bottling. After more than two and a half decades in cask the strength had fallen to 41.2%, at which it was bottled with minimal reduction.

An after-dinner cognac of some age, best neat and unhurried, and a good match for a cigar; serve at room temperature.
