Frapin VSOP is a classic and well-defined expression of the house, produced exclusively from Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. Distilled on the lees and aged in French oak, it balances youthful freshness with early complexity.
The nose is clean and aromatic, showing notes of stone fruit, citrus peel, vanilla, and light floral tones, supported by gentle oak spice. On the palate it is smooth and lively, with good structure, fresh fruit character, and a rounded, approachable finish.
The style is elegant rather than powerful, making it versatile both for sipping and refined cocktails. This VSOP clearly reflects Frapin’s focus on terroir and precision.
