Cognac – The essence of French craftsmanship
Cognac is more than just a fine brandy—it's a symbol of French tradition, masterful distillation, and timeless elegance. Made from special white wines from the Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard grape varieties, it matures in oak barrels to become an exceptional spirit. But what makes a true Cognac? Discover the world of Cognac at Kuhns.shop!
The origin – A protected specialty from France
Only spirits from the officially designated Cognac region in France may bear the name Cognac. This region is divided into six crus:
- Grande Champagne – Fine and complex with a long maturation period
- Petite Champagne – Similar to Grande Champagne, but slightly more accessible
- Borderies – Soft, floral with characteristic violet aromas
- Fins Bois – Fruity and soft, ready to drink early
- Bons Bois & Bois Ordinaires – Stronger in character, with maritime notes
These unique terroirs give each Cognac its individual flavor – from soft floral notes to deep, spicy aromas.
From the grape to the bottle – The art of cognac production
1. The grape harvest
The Ugni Blanc grape dominates cognac cultivation, as its high acidity and freshness provide the perfect base for distillation. Folle Blanche and Colombard complement the spirit with additional fine aromas.
2. Fermentation & Distillation
The resulting white wine, with an alcohol content of 7-9%, is distilled twice in traditional Charentais alembic stills. The result is a high-proof raw spirit (up to 72%), which is then aged in barrels.
3. Barrel storage – time as the secret ingredient
Oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais give cognac its color and rich aromas. During maturation, a portion of the alcohol evaporates—the so-called "angel's share." The longer the cognac rests, the more complex its flavor becomes.
4. Assemblage – The high art of composition
Cognac is often a blend of different vintages and crus. The cellar master selects the perfect blend to achieve a harmonious balance of fruitiness, spice, and depth.
Cognac classifications – What do VS, VSOP and XO mean?
- VS (Very Special) – Aged for at least 2 years, fresh and fruity
- VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) – Matured for at least 4 years, complex and balanced
- XO (Extra Old) – Matured for at least 10 years, full-bodied and profound
The older the cognac, the rounder and more refined its aroma develops.
Enjoying Cognac – Tips for Connoisseurs and Beginners
- Pure or on ice – Serve classically from a bulbous glass
- In a cocktail – perfect for fine drinks like Sidecar or Sazerac
- For dessert – Excellent with dark chocolate or fine cheese
