Product details
The Rabelais Cuvée decanter appears as a shimmering amber drop suspended in the light. Its bold design and rounded base highlighted by subtle concentric layers magnify the golden reflections of an exceptional cognac while suggesting the work of time. The neck of the precious bottle, sheathed in gold, is engraved with a vine branch, evoking the marvel of the Charente region. Placed on a base gilded with 24-carat gold, a goldsmith’s work, which is polished, assembled by hand with precision and whose lines echo the gentle curves of the precious bottle. This decanter inspires a true tasting ritual. Simply remove its cut crystal cabochon to inhale the Cuvée Rabelais waltz of aromas. Each numbered decanter of the Cuvée Rabelais is set in a real case: a lacquered wooden box.
Tasting notes
With an amber colour with orange hues, this blend reveals a particularly delicate nose, with notes of orange and candied apricot and discreet woody aromas. On the palate, they melt into notes of dried fruit and liquorice, before revealing the complex aromas of the famous Charentais rancio, the scent tobacco and cigar boxes. Its exceptionally long finish completes the tasting of this limited edition. This unique decanter is the work of a prestigious French manufacturer: the Cristallerie Saint-Louis. Thanks to a know-how passed through over more than four centuries of history, its master glassmakers and master cutters have patiently blown, cut and then hand-decorated it with 18-carat gold.
THE LEGEND OF SEGONZAC
Established in South-West France since 1270, 21 generations of the Frapin family have been, at first wine growers, and then distillers, and owners of 240 hectares of vineyards in Grande Champagne. In the middle of the estate lies an elegant 18th century property called Château Fontpinot. Cognac Frapin is the only cognac house in Grande Champagne that can be called Château.
