Frapin Cognac

​Frapin Cognac is a distinguished, family-owned estate located in the heart of France's Grande Champagne region, renowned as the premier cru of Cognac. The Frapin family's history in the area dates back to 1270, encompassing over 20 generations of winegrowers and distillers. Their estate spans approximately 240 hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with the Ugni Blanc grape variety, which is esteemed for producing high-quality eaux-de-vie. ​
