Description PLUME FRAPIN SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE 100 % GRANDE CHAMPAGNE – PREMIER CRU DE COGNAC François Rabelais was born in Anjou (Loire Valley), son of Anne-Catherine Frapin, a notable figure of the early French Renaissance. As a writer, physician and humanist, he is famous for his provocative writings, uncompromising verve and surprisingly contemporary vision borne f rom a savant entourage, respectful of humankind in nature.
