Mahogany in colour with warm copper reflections, it opens with concentrated candied apricot and the mellow, rich fruit character of aged Port. Fragrant cedar and cigar-box notes emerge gradually, weaving through the fruit with an understated woody complexity. This is a Cognac that rewards time in the glass, each moment revealing another detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate is supple and velvety, with generous flavour carried by remarkable finesse. Preserved fruit and mellow oak unfold slowly, joined by the savoury, gently nutty character of mature rancio. Its richness feels seamless, with a delicate drying touch bringing definition to an exceptionally long finish. Presented in a decanter and red gift box, Extra makes a distinguished gift for a Cognac enthusiast or a fitting centrepiece for an unhurried evening. Fully matured before bottling, it is ready to enjoy neat, allowing its layers to develop naturally in the glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDinner has ended, the conversation has deepened, and there is no reason to hurry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVanilla crème brûlée, apple tarte Tatin, caramelised pear tart, dark chocolate fondant, chocolate and banana tart, or praline ice cream.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExtra draws on the ancestral reserves preserved by Pierre Frapin and successive generations of his family. Exclusively grown, distilled and matured on the estate in Grande Champagne, it spends several decades in dry cellars, a defining influence on its finesse and aromatic development. The decanter and red presentation box give this deeply traditional Cognac an appropriately elegant finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a non-vintage blend, Extra brings together mature eaux-de-vie selected for their complementary qualities.
