Because the French take it very seriously, there are numerous rules cognac makers have to follow not to fall “short” into the brandy category. The white wine from the specific grapes (Ugni blanc) has to be doubly distilled in a copper pot still before being aged for at least two years in oak casks from which the wood can only come from two specific forests in France (Limousin or Tronçais). Depending on the age, there are three types of cognac, the youngest V.S. (Very Special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and the X.O. (Extra Old) You’re welcome to check our fantastic cognac selection, find your favorite from the top 10 cognac/brandy list, or explore the Best cognacs under 100.
The nose is elegant with floral, acacia, vanilla, almond, and madeleine aromas. Look for tannins, oak, floral, and fruity notes on the fresh and well-rounded palate. The finish is long and soft with lingering sandalwood.
