Frapin Chateau Fontpinot XO Cognac Grande Champagne

Short Description

Frapin Chateau Fontpinot XO comes from very old reserves, bottled exclusively at the Château.

History: Château Fontpinot XO is the only Premier Cru Château to have the 100% Grande Champagne appellation of international renown.

Entirely harvested, distilled and aged at the family estate, this proprietary cognac benefits from the very rare Château appellation.

Its distillation with lees, followed by slow and patient aging in dry cellars, gives it the special character of one of the oldest reserves of the castle.

Color: This XO cognac reveals itself and sets itself apart from the start with its silky color with warm, golden reflections, slightly coppery.

On the nose: This Château Trésor is the result of long aging, particularly in dry cellars, which gives it a subtle, complex, fine and persistent bouquet, composed of aromas of candied fruit (dried apricot, dried fig), almond paste, hazelnut.

The palate is balanced, rich and complex with aromas of dried fruit, candied fruit, and exceptional length.

Elegant dressing with a round cognac-colored box.

Trophy and gold medal at the Wine and Spirit Challenge 1998.
