Cigar Blend XO Cognac, Frapin, 70cl (Gift Box)

Cigar Blend XO Cognac, Frapin, 70cl (Gift Box)

Cognac, France

Mahogany Reverie

Opulent and savoury, Cigar Blend XO draws you in with walnut, hazelnut and mellow vanilla, opening into aromas of old Port and a polished cigar box. Almond paste and nougat lend a softer sweetness to the bouquet, while dried flowers add delicacy beneath the darker notes. Its copper-flecked mahogany colour hints at the patient maturation behind this richly expressive Grande Champagne Cognac.

Broad and velvety on the palate, it carries its flavours with composure, allowing nutty richness, dried fruit and gentle oak spice to unfold gradually. The distinctive rancio character of mature Cognac brings a savoury complexity that persists through an exceptionally long finish. Ready to enjoy, it rewards serving neat and taking your time. Presented in a gift box, this is a characterful choice for someone who appreciates the depth that long cellar ageing can bring.

For when: Dinner is over, the lights are low, and the best stories are just beginning.

Pairs with: Hazelnut praline chocolates, pecan pie, fig and walnut loaf, baked quince with vanilla, aged Parmesan or coffee crème brûlée.

Cigar Blend XO celebrates rancio, the complex nutty, savoury and dried-fruit character that develops in mature Cognac. Its name reflects a blend conceived to accompany the intensity of a cigar, although its depth and persistence make it equally rewarding to savour on its own.

Frapin is a family-owned Cognac house whose roots in the Charente reach back to 1270. Its home is Château Fontpinot in Segonzac, where generations of vine growing and distilling have created an unusually close relationship between vineyard, still and cellar. Every Frapin Cognac is made from grapes grown on the family estate.
The estate’s 240 hectares of vines lie entirely within Grande Champagne, Cognac’s Premier Cru. Chalk and limestone soils regulate moisture, while the oceanic climate supports Ugni Blanc grown for its naturally acidic base wines. These wines provide the foundation for fragrant eaux-de-vie capable of long maturation.
Cellar master Patrice Piveteau oversees production, maintaining the house’s commitment to distillation on the lees and carefully managed oak ageing. Environmental work includes Haute Valeur Environnementale Level 3 certification. The Cigar Blend XO presentation also reflects this approach, with a redesigned box using lighter cardboard, reduced ink and FSC-certified materials.

Made from 100% estate-grown Ugni Blanc, Cigar Blend XO begins with grapes cultivated in Grande Champagne. Following harvesting and pressing, the juice ferments in tanks to produce the wine destined for distillation.
The wine undergoes double distillation in traditional Charentais copper pot stills, with its fine lees retained. This technique contributes aromatic concentration, texture and length, forming an important part of Frapin’s house style.
The eaux-de-vie mature in Limousin oak barrels in the estate’s humid cellars. Extended ageing develops integrated vanilla, nutty complexity and the mature rancio character central to this blend. The finished Cognac is bottled at 40%, with its balance established through maturation and blending before release.
Alcohol: 40%. Bottle size: 70cl. Vegetarian and vegan.
