Cognac Frapin Château Fontpinot XO

The palate is rich, elegant, and deeply layered, opening with flavours of dried apricot, fig, and candied orange before unfolding into marzipan, hazelnut, nougat, and warm vanilla shaped by long aging in dry cellars. A refined rancio character—nutty, gently oxidative, and savoury—emerges through the mid‑palate, adding depth and complexity without heaviness. The texture is silky and expansive, supported by subtle oak spice and a quiet tannic frame that gives structure. The finish is exceptionally long, carrying dried fruit, almond, and rancio notes with a poised, Grande‑Champagne finesse.
