Cognac is regarded by most to be the finest spirit distilled from grapes. Appreciated throughout the world, this twice-distilled brandy has a mystique and is synonymous with luxury. Originating in the Charente and Charente-Maritime Departments of France, it has a fascinating history as well as rituals and traditions associated with it. Not least because there are legal requirements that the brandy must meet before it can bear the name of Cognac. Cognac is distilled twice in specially shaped copper stills to create the colourless eau-de-vie that is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years, but of course the best Cognacs are aged for decades. According to Remy Martin, one of the fine producers, the secret of Cognac is in the soil. This fascinating book covers the story behind Cognac and the great Cognac houses of France as well as how this special brandy is created. It also includes practical advice about the art of tasting and choosing the right Cognac and, most importantly, how to store it. Information on the top 50 Cognacs, a section on Cognac and food, plus tips from makers and connoisseurs round out this indispensable guide.
