- Description
- Frapin VIP XO is a Grande Champagne-heavy Cognac distinguished by its spicy and floral character, displaying the hallmark richness of eaux-de-vie from France's most prestigious vineyard. The palate balances dried fruit complexity with warm spice and subtle floral notes, while the extended aging in oak provides depth and smoothness. This was the sole Cognac served aboard the British Airways Concorde, a testament to its refined pedigree. Suited to contemplative moments or as an aperitif for those seeking sophistication without ostentation.
