Description: Produced by a Cognac house with expertise dating back to 1270, perfecting the process of Cognac production has been the house’s agenda for the past twenty-one generations. Impressive in its history, its brilliance also extends to its prestigious location residing in 300 hectares within the fine Grande Champagne region. It is this concoction of brilliance that results in specialty Cognac’s that master excellence effortlessly. No exception to that, Frapin 1270 Grande Champagne Cognac is an exceptional tribute to the house's impressive history. Although it exceeds the legal two-year minimum requirement for a VS (Very Special) classification, it is technically sold without a designation. However, the average age would fit between an VSOP and XO.
