The elegant, minimal design features a frieze which honours the nomination - 480 years ago - of Jehan Frapin as Chef Sommelier of the highest order by King François I, back in 1534. Jehan Frapin was the nephew of François Rabelais, the distinguished French humanist writer and renowned ancestor of the Frapin family. The crystal decanter is fashioned by hand at the Rogaska crystal glassworks by a highly skilled master glassmaker. The outstanding savoir-faire of the Rogaska crystal glassworks stems from a rich artisanal heritage dating back nearly 350 years. The harmonious blend of our oldest and most highly prized eaux-de-vie from the Chai Paradis will delight the palates of connoisseurs and collectors alike.
