Thanks! ?? Covering a cognac producer in depth for the first time on the podcast, Frapin cellar master Patrice Piveteau gives an orientation to the 750 year history of Frapin and takes us through the process of cognac production in the region. We of course try two cognacs from their range and Patrice expertly describes the emotion behind the evolution and sensory experience of each. Touching also on the use of cognac in cocktails, and for food pairings, which has helped keep the category relevant and a favourite of bartenders and sommeliers around the world.   Episode outline: Origin Story Cognac production Adaptation in the face of change The Cognac Frapin philosophy and range Cognac Tasting Future cognac drinkers Communication Looking ahead   Cognacs tasted: VSOP Grande Champagne Tech sheet: https://www.louislatour.co.uk/producers/Frapin+Cognac/VSOP+Grande+Champagne Château Fontpinot X.O.
