F.A.Q

Where does the name Cognac come from?

Cognac is derived from the name of a small French town located in southwestern France. Local winemakers have been distilling wines here since the 16th century, and the spirit (Brandy) was originally known by the town’s name.

What is Cognac made of?

To qualify as Cognac, the brandy must be made from white grapes sourced from six different terroirs in the Cognac region of Southwest France. The juice is double-distilled in copper pot stills and aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of two years.

What is the difference between Cognac and Brandy?

Similar to Scotch being a type of whisky, Cognac is a specific kind of brandy produced under strict regulations.

How many Cognacs wines will I taste during this tour?
