Frapin Cognac '1270'. 40%, 70cl.

Frapin 1270 — 'Entry-level' Grande Champagne Premier Cru
A rich gold colour in the glass. The nose opens with vine blossom and linden flowers, a whisper of vanilla riding underneath. On the palate it's light-footed and citrus-bright, with orange, soft toffee, a touch of white pepper, and a clean, youthful finish — built for an aperitif or a splash of tonic rather than quiet contemplation.
