The Frapin family has been based in Charente since 1270, working first as wine-growers and later as distillers. Today it owns 240 hectares of vines in Grande Champagne, planted with Ugni Blanc, which has been grown for 21 generations. Distillation is completed in six 25 hl red copper Charentais stills. The cognac is then aged in Limousin oak barrels, first in new oak, then in older roux barrels and finally in century-old barrels for older cognacs, which no longer need to take on additional colour or aromas from the wood. The house owns both dry and humid cellars. Segonzac's were built by Gustave Eiffel. Frapin's cognacs have won numerous awards, notably at the Expositions Universelles in Paris in 1889 and 1900. They have been a success ever since.


This cuvée celebrates the success of the house founder, Pierre Frapin, at the Exposition Universelle 1889 (Universal Exhibition) of Paris. He had prepared the blend in the year prior, and his hard work paid off when it went on to win him the gold medal at the fair. Some of the cognacs in this blend date from this period.
Some elements like the spiral around the bottle and the stopper are gilded with fine gold. A limited edition of 1,888 glass decanters.

The bottle of 700ml is in perfect condition.
The box shows significant signe of ageing.
