Cognac Fine Champagne is the protected appellation for Cognac blended from the Cognac region's two most prestigious crus: Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne. To qualify for the title, at least 50 percent of a Cognac Fine Champagne must be made from Grande Champagne.
Cognac is made with grapes, which are turned into wine then distilled twice and left to age in barrels. The big Cognac houses rely on the 6,000 growers in the region who supply grapes as well as eau-de-vie.Cognac is a type of brandy, and after the distillation and during the aging process, is also called eau de vie. It is produced by twice distilling wine made from grapes grown in any of the designated growing regions.
While cognac is therefore a wine and a spirit, one thing certain is that cognac is not a type of whisky. On a superficial level, the confusion is understandable. Both are amber-colour spirits, the product of generations of savoir-faire with a strong affinity to their region of production.
Grapes, not grain: When you compare cognac production with whisky, part of the reason that cognac typically is more expensive to produce is down to the base material they're working with. Grapes must be harvested every year and made into wine as quickly as possible once harvested.
