Taking craftsmanship to the highest levels of excellence, Frapin’s style embodies the very essence of Cognac. The whole estate, including 240ha of vineyards, lies in the Grande Champagne area which is regarded as Cognac’s best appellation.

Family Cognac

Still in original family ownership, the family can trace their vine-growing and distilling history back to 1270. Frapin combines the knowledge with well-established methods passed down through the generations to hand-craft cognacs that are exclusively harvested, distilled and aged on their estate. In the middle of the estate lies an elegant 18th-century property called Château Fontpinot. Cognac Frapin is the only cognac house in Grande Champagne that can be called Château.

Frapin cognacs come exclusively from grapes grown on our estate. From the cultivation of its vines located in Grande Champagne, through artisanal winemaking and distillation over lees, then aging in century-old humid or dry cellars, everything is brought together to guarantee the continuity of the Frapin style. This quality and experience are rewarded each year with prizes and medals at international competitions.
