Frapin Limited VSOP: Art & Century-Old Craftsmanship

Blending Gustave Eiffel's Metalwork with Segonzac's Heritage

The Segonzac-based estate Frapin has recently launched a limited run of 8,000 bottles of its Collector's Edition VSOP, designed to attract younger drinkers with its modern aesthetic. The packaging deeply integrates the brand's heritage, showcasing the 18th-century Château Fontpinot and the metalwork aesthetics of renowned architect Gustave Eiffel. The bottle features the family coat of arms granted by Louis XIV and cleverly incorporates piano key patterns representing the Cognac Blues Passions festival, perfectly bridging tradition and art.

Taste Across Generations: Sustainable Design & Chilled Serving

Brand Manager Thomas Soert notes that the target audience for this new release is drinkers aged 30 and over. To uphold environmental commitments, the packaging uses 30% recycled PET material and includes an easy-tear strip for convenient recycling. Regarding serving suggestions, the brand advocates drinking this VSOP frozen, allowing the liquid to gradually warm up and reveal complex layers of charming aromas.

Seven-Year Aging: Master Craftsmanship Recognized Internationally

Cellar Master Patrice Piveteau emphasizes that the spirit is crafted using grapes from their own 240-hectare estate and distilled on lees. It is aged for seven years, far exceeding the legal requirement of four years. Frapin's quality has earned international acclaim, with its Château Fontpinot XO winning a Master medal at The Brandy & Cognac Masters 2026. Judges described the cognac as having a noble, royal aroma with a rich and silky mouthfeel. This limited VSOP launch once again proves the brand's ability to innovate in packaging while maintaining traditional craftsmanship.
