Frapin VIP XO Grande Champagne Cognac β€” 100% Grande Champagne Premier Cru from Maison Frapin, the family estate at SΓ©gonzac that has farmed and distilled cognac since 1270.

The VIP XO is a blend of mature Limousin-oak-aged eaux-de-vie, selected for the floral aromatic precision and rancio length that mark Grande Champagne at this age tier. One of very few cognacs in the XO category produced entirely from estate-grown fruit.

Candied orange peel, dried apricot, vine flower, walnut, fig and Limousin oak spice. The palate carries the signature floral Grande Champagne profile with rounded rancio, vanilla, dried citrus and a long, dry, refined finish. Sip neat, slightly below room temperature, in a tulip glass.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Cognac Frapin

Cognac

The Frapin family can trace its winegrowing and distilling in Cognac back to 1270, and the house is still owned by its descendants β€” the Cointreau family, direct descendants of Pierre Frapin, took over the running of the business in 1984, and the current chief executive is the twenty-first generation. Patrice Piveteau is the cellar master.

Everything comes from 240 hectares of estate vineyard, all of it in Grande Champagne, the finest of the Cognac crus, planted at 3,000 vines to the hectare and farmed lutte raisonnΓ©e. That single-estate, single-cru position is rare at this level.

The method is built on flavour at every stage. Ugni Blanc is picked two to three degrees riper than the regional norm, fermented without sulphur on full solids for extra texture, then double-distilled in 25-hectolitre copper stills with the fine lees of both pulp and yeast. The new spirit comes off at 71 per cent and goes first into brand new Limousin oak for two years or more before being moved to older barrels for long ageing, in either dry attic cellars, which give a more fruity, elegant style, or humid ground-level cellars, where slower evaporation brings richness and roundness. Frapin holds sixteen years of maturing stock against an industry average of around seven.
