St.Antony Cognac
Cognac is brandy from the Cognac region of south-west France – but grapes, geography, time, craftsmanship, wood and weather all come into it.
Cognac production falls under French appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designation, with production methods and naming required to meet certain legal requirements. Among the specified grapes, Ugni blanc. As the people of Cognac in south-west France will proudly speak, all cognac is brandy but all brandy is not cognac.
The grapes – specifically, the ugni blanc variety which produces high acidity wine perfect for distillation. The wine for cognac must be distilled twice in copper pot stills, with the resulting eaux-de-vie grape spirit then aged for at least two years in French oak barrels.
