A Feast for the Senses: Unveiling the Cognac's Depths

Colour: Frapin VSOP boasts a captivating golden amber hue, hinting at the rich tapestry of flavours waiting to be discovered.

Aroma: The first encounter is an aromatic revelation. A complex bouquet unfolds, swirling with enticing notes of ripe orchard fruits, particularly orange, complemented by delicate floral hints of dried flowers. A subtle touch of vanilla emerges, a testament to the cognac's patient ageing in oak casks.

Palate: The sensory journey continues on the palate, where Frapin VSOP showcases its remarkable harmony and balance. The initial impression is one of delightful smoothness, followed by a wave of persistent flavours. Juicy orange notes come to the fore, intertwined with hints of other orchard fruits. A touch of spice emerges on the finish, reminiscent of cinnamon or pepper, adding an intriguing complexity to the overall experience.

The Art of Serving: Unlocking Frapin VSOP's Potential

Frapin VSOP's versatility allows you to savour its brilliance in a multitude of ways. Here are some suggestions to elevate your cognac experience:

• Neat: To fully appreciate the intricate tapestry of flavours, enjoy Frapin VSOP neat. Sip it slowly in a snifter glass, allowing the aromas to develop and the cognac's full character to unfold on your palate.
• On the Rocks: For a touch of refreshment, Frapin VSOP can be enjoyed on the rocks. A single large ice cube is ideal to ensure minimal dilution while maintaining a pleasant coolness.
• Cocktails: Frapin VSOP also lends itself beautifully to crafting exceptional cocktails. Its balanced profile makes it a fantastic base for classic cognac cocktails such as the Sidecar or the Sazerac.

• Cheese:  Pair Frapin VSOP with a selection of mature cheeses, such as Comté, Gruyère, or a sharp cheddar. The cognac's richness and subtle spice notes will beautifully complement the savoury flavours of the cheese.
• Chocolate: For a decadent treat, Frapin VSOP is a perfect match for dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. The cognac's sweetness will counterbalance the bitterness of the chocolate, creating a truly luxurious experience.
