The Cognac region is nestled in the southwest of France, an exceptional territory recognised by the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) since 1936. This region is distinguished by its temperate climate, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, and its unique limestone soils, which are conducive to vine cultivation. Cognac, this prestigious spirit, is the result of double distillation of white wines primarily made from Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard grapes. The ageing process takes place in oak barrels, giving Cognac its complex aromas and silky texture. The six Cognac crus, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Borderies, each bring distinct characteristics, enriching the diversity of this spirit. Enthusiasts, whether novices or connoisseurs, appreciate the picturesque landscape of the region, with its rolling vineyards and historic communes, while discovering the magic of this centuries-old art. The Cognac region is not only a source of this refined elixir but also a place of enchantment, where tradition meets innovation to delight palates around the world.
