In the world of cognac, one name that resonates strongly is Frapin Cognac. With a rich history dating back more than 750 years, this vineyard and distillery has been synonymous with quality and artistry. While its reputation precedes it in France and Europe, Frapin Cognac is now making waves on the other side of the Atlantic - in North America.

To further bolster its presence in this new market, Frapin Cognac recently joined forces with Rudy Gobert, the star center of the Minnesota Timberwolves and a prominent figure in French basketball. Gobert, hailing from Saint-Quentin, France, embodies the French 'art de vivre' or 'art of living,' and serves as the North American Ambassador for Frapin Cognac.

With Gobert's support, Frapin Cognac has introduced a special blend that embodies the essence of both the brand and the basketball star. The Frapin XO Cognac Rudy Gobert is a smooth and sophisticated blend, featuring exquisite flavors of dried orange, apricots, and vanilla. Crafted and blended in the esteemed Grande Champagne district in Southwest France, this cognac has been aged in oak barrels within the cellars for over two decades.

The character and finesse of the Frapin XO Cognac Rudy Gobert are not only reflected in its taste but also in its appearance. The special edition cognac showcases a captivating blend of yellow and orange hues and releases subtle notes of gingerbread and cinnamon upon nosing. It is a true sensory experience that mirrors the richness and finesse of Rudy Gobert's style of play on the basketball court.

For those interested in indulging in this exceptional cognac, it is available at Total Wine for $249.99 per 700ml bottle. Each sip of the Frapin XO Cognac Rudy Gobert Special Edition encapsulates the expertise and dedication of the Frapin family and the savoir-faire of the winemaking tradition passed down through generations.

As Frapin Cognac expands its footprint across North America, partnering with Rudy Gobert is just the beginning. With a legacy that spans centuries, this renowned vineyard and distillery continues to captivate connoisseurs with its exceptional cognacs and cocktails. So, whether you're a basketball fan, a cognac enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, the Frapin XO Cognac Rudy Gobert Special Edition offers an exquisite taste of French artistry.
