Tasting Note
Frapin Chateau Fontpinot is especially appealing to me because it is the most winelike of the great cognacs. This XO level bottling is a genuine rarity. Like a great Bordeaux, it is chateau-bottled, which means that it is made exclusively from grapes grown on the vineyards surrounding the handsome chateau, and it is distilled and bottled on the estate. Chateau Fontpinot somehow manages to convey the seriousness of purpose expected of an XO with the wonderfully grapy freshness of a crisp white wine.
