Cognac Frapin is launching a limited edition prestige cognac, produced from some 20 eaux-de-vie, each produced exclusively from the Ugni Blanc variety, grown in the domain’s 240 hectares in Grande Champagne. Plume Frapin has been aged for over 60 years in antique barrels and stored in the Pierre Frapin cellars at Chateau Fontpinot. In homage to the family history, stretching back as far as 1270, and the famous French scribe Francois Rabelais, son of Antoine Rabelais and Anne-Catherine Frapin, imagery of quills was selected to adorn its packaging. Jean-Pierre Cointreau, CEO of Cognac Frapin says, “When you have a heritage as rich as ours, it is natural to pay homage to your illustrious ancestors.” Rose golden pewter with 18-carat rose gold has been used for Plume Frapin’s elegant carafe, which is also topped with an ornate stopper. This exceptional cuvée is produced in a limited series of only 500 numbered bottles and will retail for around £2695.
