Deep amber with burnished orange reflections, it opens with dried apricot, fig and candied orange, followed by liquorice, tobacco leaf and the fragrant cedar character of a well-kept cigar box. With time in the glass, darker notes of prune, old wood and forest floor emerge, creating an aromatic depth that invites you to pause between each sip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate is enveloping and remarkably rounded, with a silken texture carrying layers of preserved fruit and mellow oak. Its richness unfolds gradually, balanced by gently drying wood tannins and the savoury, nutty complexity known as rancio, developed through prolonged maturation. The finish is exceptionally persistent, leaving traces of candied fruit, tobacco and polished wood. Presented in an ornate decanter and gift box, this is a memorable gift for a serious Cognac lover, or a bottle to open when the occasion deserves something extraordinary. Fully matured before bottling, it is ready to savour without further cellaring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe occasion deserves a final glass that nobody will forget.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDark chocolate truffles, walnut tart, tarte Tatin, roasted figs with mascarpone, prune and almond tart, or mature Comté.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlume, meaning feather or quill, honours François Rabelais, the Renaissance writer and humanist whose mother was Anne-Catherine Frapin. The literary connection takes physical form in a decanter created by Orfèvrerie d’Anjou, with sculpted, gilded pewter feathers embracing the glass. Released in a limited series of 500 numbered decanters, it brings together the craftsmanship of the cellar and the decorative arts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a non-vintage Cognac assembled from around twenty very old Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. Drawn from Frapin’s treasured Paradis reserves, its character reflects several decades of patient maturation and the work of successive generations, with blending bringing those individual histories into harmony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56387184361857,"sku":null,"price":2100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/PlumeCognac_Frapin_DecanterinGiftBox.png?v=1791739242","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/frapin-plume-cognac-decanter-gift-box","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
