Frapin Bottle Catalogue (last updated: Sep 28, 2024)
(427 regular bottles, 13 magnums and 221 miniatures, but still not complete.)
Introduction
Frapin was established in 1870 by Pierre Frapin. Through different marriages they have family ties with Rémy Martin (Rémy-Cointreau) and Renaud-Cointreau. The Frapin family is very old with a lineage that goes back to the 13th century and some of the ancestors held positions at the royal court. The famous French writer François Rabelais, who lived in the 15th century, can also be placed in that lineage. Frapin got its coat of arms, which were used on its bottles, from Louis XIV. At the end of the twentieth century Frapin changed it for the feather, in honor of François Rabelais.
Frapin owns a big vineyard, the biggest vineyard in Charente in possession of a family owned company. It is around 300 hectares, all in the grande champagne area.
Most of their cognacs are grande champagne, but there are some exceptions.

I am loking for empty Frapin decanter for sell
Impressive catalog! Found one that may be missing from you collection!
Hello,
It looks you’re right.
Can you send me the photo in a bigger format? I’ll e-mail you to facilitate.
Thanks,
Ton
Thank you for this picture of Frapin Cuvee rare.
Difficult to say because there are not many around. You have to be lucky to find one. So there is no real way of estimating a price.
If you are selling, you have to be lucky to find a collectioneer, but then it could easily be over €100,-.
If I had one I would not sell it for less.
Hey! I Wonder whats the value on the frapin domino bottles in the suitcase? Have never seen it before and its not for sale anywhere. Thank you for answer. Best regards Erik
