Cognac Frapin XO VIP

This Frapin VIP XO has all the wonderful qualities you would expect from a Grande Champagne blend, offering a harmonious orchestra of spicy and fruity notes to create a sensory symphony with every sip. Aged for 35 years, the Cognac has been harvested, aged, distilled, blended and bottled on site at the Frapin estate to ensure the highest quality and complete control over every individual aspect of the creation process.

Its more refined and elegant flavour profile makes it the perfect companion for any VIP, so it's no wonder it's the only Cognac to be served on British Airways Concorde flights. Take your taste buds on a journey in style with this timeless treat for the senses.
Sourced from the family estate's former reserves, this 35-year-old XO Cognac is truly an exciting embodiment of all things Grande Champagne, revelling in its notoriety and (for many) its superiorities on the Cognac scene.

Its 35 years of ageing in damp cellars (undoubtedly the most favourable conditions for producing a rich, complex profile) has produced a truly wonderful Cognac reserved for VIPs who appreciate roundness and suppleness with every sip. XO VIP is an ode to the passion behind its creation and flavour, a Cognac to be enjoyed by connoisseurs of all ages and experience.

The most demanding Cognac drinkers with an experienced and refined palate will find a plethora of woody, fruity and spicy notes on the palate and a host of other aromas on the nose.

Patrice Piveteau, Chef de Cave at Frapin, says: ''This is a rich, complex and evolving cognac in which everyone will find their own aromatic references.

Eye: Deep mahogany

Nose: Rich stewed fruit such as apples, sultanas and dates, as well as dried fruit such as apricots and candied oranges. Heady aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg, with hints of clove, pepper, coriander and cumin.

Mouth: Powerful on the palate with sticky dates and Christmas cake spices accented by notes of ginger root and glazed fruit. A rich, refined taste balanced by a pronounced fruitiness with hints of chocolate, a finish of dry spices and gingerbread lingers on the tongue.
