Product description
Frapin is one of the oldest families associated with cognac production, currently the 21st generation holds the helm of the family company.
The Frapins cultivated grapes as early as 1270, and began distilling in the 18th century. In 1885, during the New Orleans International Trade Fair, their cognac won a gold medal, the first of hundreds that the future would bring. In the last two decades, there was practically no year in which it did not win a distinction or medal, and there were usually several. Frapin Cigar Blend is an XO cognac composed for cigar lovers. The eaux-de-vie used in the composition came exclusively from their own 240-hectare vineyard, located in the Grande Champagne district. This cognac has won several prestigious awards, the last (2023) was a gold medal at the Cognac Masters competition.
