Product details
1989 was ruled by fires, temperamental yet favourable weather conditions and a bountiful summer. This vintage was produced solely from Ugni Blanc located in the western part of Frapin’s vineyards, characterized by a chalky and clay soil and a largely protected crumbly chalky subsoil typical of Grande Champagne region. The 1989 vintage was unusually aged in Frapin’s humid cellars, bringing softness and roundness. This is a first for a vintage. These rare cognacs, which require no blending, only intuition and skill, are traditionally made in the attics. Today, the haute couture collection of “Trésors du Château” is enriched by a unique cognac, which promises lovers of new emotions a wonderful tasting.
Tasting notes
The 30 years of aging in humid cellars set the tone. Fruity, delicate and chiselled notes. Orange pulp and candied zest dominate a wonderful bouquet of gingerbread, dried apricot and roasted apple. It is silky, of an astonishing purity, smooth and delicate. Delicate background of light woody notes, aromas of cooked apricot, liquorice and candied fruit blossom. A combination of smoked aromas, cigar box, leather and rancio, complemented by a beautiful length. Seductive, elegant, the finish reveals its depth of aromas and beautiful harmony acquired from 30 years of ageing.
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. Discover our history and expertise handed down from generation to generation.
