About this tour
Walk through Maison Frapin in Segonzac, a family distillery rooted in Grande Champagne terroir for over two centuries. The producer—descendants of 21 generations of growers and distillers—opens their cellars to explain traditional methods and the vineyard's singular position within cognac's finest cru. You'll taste three expressions to understand how soil and craft shape the spirit.

What to expect
Expect a straightforward producer's tour—no marketing theatre. You'll see the vineyard context, learn how Frapin handles fermentation and distillation, and move through storage areas where age and oak shape the final product. The tasting arrives at the end: three different cognacs, each revealing how vintage and maturation affect flavour. This is intimate and technical without being dense; the guides speak plainly about their process. Bring questions about production; they're keen to discuss details that matter to cognac drinkers.
