Cognac is a double-distilled brandy created mostly from Ugni blanc grapes in six defined growing regions of Southwest France, with Grande and Petite Champagne being the most prestigious.
The names Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne arose from their soil characteristics resembling the Champagne region, contributing to light floral and fruit flavors in Cognacs.
All Cognacs must adhere to specific requirements: double copper-pot distillation of specific grapes, plus two years of cask aging in oak wood from France.
Even slight differences in factors such as soil and topography can noticeably impact the final taste characteristics of the Cognac produced from different crus.
