History
Cognac has been produced in southwest France since the 17th century when Dutch traders began distilling local wines for transport. The region's chalky terroir and the specific grape variety (Ugni Blanc) create a unique base wine. Cognac must be made within strict geographical boundaries and follow traditional methods.
