700mL / Cognac / France
Frapin EXTRA XO Grande Champagne Cognac offers a luxurious and complex profile that highlights the finest qualities of aged spirits from France's premier Cognac region. With its deep amber hue, aromatic bouquet of dried fruits and spices, and a palate rich in layered flavours, this Cognac delivers an elegant finish perfect for connoisseurs seeking depth and refinement.
The appearance of Frapin EXTRA XO Grande Champagne Cognac reveals a captivating deep amber colour, reminiscent of polished mahogany, with a viscous texture that clings to the glass. On the nose, it unfolds with inviting aromas of ripe apricots, candied orange peel, and hints of vanilla pod, intertwined with subtle notes of cinnamon and aged oak, evoking the heritage of Grande Champagne terroir in every swirl.
Upon tasting, this Cognac presents a velvety smooth palate where flavours of dried figs, toasted almonds, and dark chocolate mingle seamlessly with undertones of rancio, a signature of extended ageing. The balanced integration of sweet honeyed notes and gentle spice creates a harmonious complexity that evolves with each sip, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of Frapin distillers.
The finish is remarkably long and warming, leaving lingering impressions of nutmeg, leather, and a faint floral elegance that fades gracefully.
