Vintage 1979 - 40 years - Trésors du Château - Cognac Frapin

The 1979 vintage was the first vintage launched by Cognac Frapin in 1998. At that time, a barrel was set aside to continue a longer ageing process... After 40 years of waiting, a new 1979 vintage was born.

Produced from Ugni Blanc, this cognac comes from our 240ha vineyard, characterised by a clayey limestone soil and a crumbly limestone subsoil typical of the Grande Champagne terroir. This vintage distilled on the lees has been aged for 40 years in our dry cellars in order to give it nesse and elegance...

A real treasure of the Château, it represents the House's ancestral know-how.

It is the BNIC (Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac) that guarantees the authenticity of the FRAPIN Millésimés Cognacs by monitoring the sealing of the barrels in which our eau-de-vie ages.

The 1979 vintage is accompanied by a booklet presenting the cuvée, all contained in a case in
imitation leather.
