What is Cognac?

Cognac is a type of brandy that is renowned globally for its intricate production process and exquisite flavour profile. To be legally labeled as Cognac, the spirit must meet strict criteria: it must be made from specific grape varieties, primarily Ugni Blanc, in the Charente and Charente-Maritime departments. It must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged for at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais. This aging process is crucial as it allows the spirit to develop its distinctive smoothness and rich flavour nuances, ranging from fruity and floral to spicy and woody.

Cognac is categorised by its age: VS (Very Special) indicates that the youngest brandy in the blend has been aged for at least two years, VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) for at least four years, and XO (Extra Old) for at least ten years under new regulations established in 2018. This intricate production ensures that each sip of cognac is a taste of the French heritage and craftsmanship that has been refined over centuries.
