aking craftsmanship to the highest levels of excellence, Frapin’s style embodies the very essence of Cognac. The whole estate, including 240ha of vineyards, lies in the Grande Champagne area which is regarded as Cognac’s best appellation.
Exclusively harvested, distilled and aged from the Frapin estate’s, 1270 honours Frapin’s terroir and know-how. It is the perfect introduction before discovering the entire range. Thanks to its great aromatic richness, Frapin 1270 can be used as an after-dinner liqueur or as an aperitif especially for mixed drinks. Serve with tonic water, a dash of sparkling water or simply over ice. It is an ideal base ingredient for aperitifs and the most sophisticated cocktails. Its warm, golden highlights give it a beautiful straw colour, bearing witness to its time in new Limousin oak barrels. Its aromas of vine and lime blossom, with a light touch of vanilla from its ageing in Limousin barrels, promise the aromatic richness characteristic of a great cognac.
Nose:
On the nose, the Cognac is very floral, with notes of dried flower potpourri, along with hints of violet and dried rose petal and some dried fruit. There are notes of toasty oak and, remarkably for a relatively young Cognac, hints of leather.
Palate:
On the palate, the Cognac is smooth, with notes of caramel and dried fruit, along with some vanilla and a bit of cinnamon and tropical spices. As the Cognac opens up, notes of apple and pear, along with some milk chocolate notes, emerge.
Finish:
The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering dried fruit sweetness accompanied by a caramel note.
