| Fine Spirits - Cognac | |||||
| Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France,
is a brandy, which is produced in the region surrounding the town. It must
be made from at least 90% Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, or Colombard grapes.
The rest of the cognac can consist of ten selected grapes. However, most
cognac is made from Ugni Blanc only. It must be distilled twice in copper
pot stills and aged at least 2 and 1/2 years in French oak barrels in order
to be called cognac. If not, it may not be called cognac, nor sold as such.
Brandy produced elsewhere in France, or in other parts of the world, cannot
properly be called "cognac". |
