COLOUR AND BOUQUET
The orange color of VSOP Frapin reflects its aging in Limousin oak barrels. On the nose, we perceive complexity, fruity aromas including orange and floral aromas such as dried flowers. Discreet vanilla notes are also present. VSOP Frapin has a beautiful aromatic intensity.
ON THE PALATE
Frapin VSOP presents a beautiful harmony. It is balanced with persistent flavors, particularly fruit, including orange. The finish is spicy with notes of cinnamon and pepper.
GASTRONOMY
For our pairings with the following dishes, we place the Frapin VSOP carafe in the freezer for two days. With the cold, an alchemy occurs; our VSOP cognac thickens, its aromas become concentrated, and it achieves great softness. Once at the table, the carafe and cognac warm up, and its subtle aromas gradually reveal themselves, all in gentleness. Here are a few examples of successful pairings: – Pan-seared foie gras with spiced bitter orange sauce, duck jus with Nepalese pepper – Duck foie gras compression with potato and artichoke, smoked duck breast – Fresh and marinated salmon tartare, herb salad – Smoked sea bass with herring caviar cream – Tomato gazpacho with langoustines, flavored oil.
