Cognac

By law,cognac must contain Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, or Colombard grapes, although other grapes may be added. They are pressed and fermented to yield a very dry, somewhat bland white wine which is subjected to a double distillation process, yielding raw cognac which is routed into oak barrels for aging. Copper stills are used.Cognac must be aged for at least three years. This adds significantly to the cost of the final product, as the spirit must be stored in temperature controlled environments while it ages, and the barrels must be cared for by trained professionals. Cognac producers also experience product loss through evaporation as the spirit ages. After three years, cognac is drinkable, though very young, with a raw, intense flavor. The longer a cognac is aged, the better it becomes, developing complex flavors and mellowing in the oak. It also becomes more expensive, for the reasons cited above. When aged for at least three years it can be labeled V.S. for “very superior,” while V.S.O.P. stands for “very superior old pale.” Even older cognacs may be labeled as reserve or XO, and they are very special.
