The assemblage of this ‘Cuvée 1888’ is from Cognacs ageing in our ‘Paradise’ storehouse.Some of these Cognacs are even older than 1888. They have aged for so many generations and are a testimony to the mastery of the late and great Monsieur Pierre Frapin.Offered in a limited series of 1888 bottles, the carafe-type bottle was inspired as a homage to Pierre Frapin. In 1888, with a vineyard successfully rejuvenated, he prepared his participation at the Universal Exhibition, for which Gustave Eiffel had just completed his famous tower.Pierre Frapin selected some of his ‘cuvées’ and received the Gold Medal at this famous exhibition. This Gold Medal is still on display and preciously so, in the Eiffel Storehouse of our Château. The Astonishing Crystal carafeFor this historic Cuvée, Frapin Cognac has commissioned the design of an original carafe of elegant and pure form. Produced by the Cristalleries Royales de Champagne, the carafe is decorated by a 24 carat golden line. Its spiral shape recalls Cognac’s slow ageing through time or the preparatory turning of cognac in a glass. The Etains d’Anjou created this golden line as also they did the golden cork.The refinement of a sumptuous Gift BoxPresented in a highly refined Gift Box of a ‘Cognac cellar’ form.The wood textures recall the warm atmospheres of Cognac and Habana cigars.Its base contains a small draw where one will find a reproduction of a 1888 watch.Opening the watch a special perfume is released, ideal to accompany tastings.                                                             Will usually ship within 3 day of receiving/clearing payment.Be sure to add me to your favorites list!Sign up for my email newsletters by adding my eBay Store to your Favorites This listing complies with ebay rules on the sale of Alcohol, As per ebay rules, -The value of the item is in the collectible container, not its contents.-The container has not been opened and any incidental contents are not intended for consumption.-The item is not available at any retail outlet, and the container has a value that substantially exceeds the current retail price of the alcohol in the container. - As the seller, I will take all appropriate steps to ensure that the buyer is of lawful age in the buyer and seller's jurisdiction. - Buyers and sellers both ensure that the sale complies with all applicable laws and shipping regulations.
