Frapin Cognac 1270 Grande Champagne - 1 Litre featured Marcoux's Châteauneuf is drawn fromA terrific drink. There is loads of complexity, delicacy and subtlety. This V. S. has top notes of wood, citrus peel and raisins. The palate is smooth with vanilla, dark cooking spices, cinnamon, cloves and more brown sugared raisin notes. There is even something that reminds me of white chocolate. On the finish, vanilla, spice, a little caf au lait nuance and a waft of mandarin peel.
