Artisan Producers Offer a Voyage of Discovery
COGNAC Artisan producers ognac’s history and reputation are unrivaled among spirits. But despite associations with celebrities, elitism, luxury and opulence, at the end of the day Cognac is about dirt, grapes and a series of offer a voyage of organic reactions. The mysterious yet simple ritual of its cre- Cation—from harvest and crush to fermentation, distillation, élevage and bot- discovery tling—yields one of the most ethereal spirits ever known. Because of the recent rise in artisanal Cognac—an extension of the global craft-spirits movement—we have been able to re-examine brandy By Wyatt Peabody as a whole. And, thanks to the tireless work of a few determined import- ers, today we have access to small producers, most of which were all but unknown in the United States previously. San Francisco importer Charles Much of the wine made from Neal first introduced Dudognon Cognac in 1998. In the years since, Neal these vineyards around St.-Preuil in western France will be distilled has gone on to work with dozens of independent producers throughout and aged into Cognac. the Cognac region. DEC. 15, 2014 • WINE SPECTATOR 107 “Cognac has always been about terroir,” pro- claims Neal, who was brazen enough to start importing artisanal Cognac before people knew anything other than what the big four—Hen- nessy, Rémy Martin, Courvoisier and Martell— were selling. So how does one disrupt a seem- ingly impenetrable market, some 80 percent of which is controlled by four companies? For an enophile like Neal, it was by focusing on the winelike, site-specific nature of Cognac.

UDC 663.241:674.4/8 © 2016 Criteria of determination of age of cognac spirits O. Lukanin, academician of the NAAS, doctor of technical sciences Winemaking primary resources monitoring laboratory O. Sydorenko, Candidate of Technical Sciences Limited Liability Company «Pioner Noviishykh Tekhnolohii» The purpose. To develop criteria of estimation of ripeness of ordinary cognac spirits on the basis of measurements of concentration of basic aromatic components of oak which pass in spirit at seasoning in a barrel for 1 — 5 years. Methods. Experimental seasoning of cognac spirits in new barrels made from domestic oak was spent in industrial conditions. The equation of an index of age of cognac spirits is deduced by means of programs of statistical analysis of data. Concentration of aromatic components of an oak in cognac spirits was measured by chromatographic method. Results. The formula on which it is possible to calculate an index of age of cognac or cognac spirit up to 98,68% is developed. Conclusions. The criterion of estimation of ripeness of ordinary cognac spirits on the basis of measurements of concentration of basic components of oak which pass during seasoning in barrels for 1 — 5 years is offered. Key words: cognac spirits, aromatic components, classification, time of seasoning. Free Trade Zone Agreement of Ukraine with the EU, which has come into force on January 01st, 2016, is aimed at reducing and abolishing of tariffs for goods, as well as bringing the Ukrainian business rules and regulations into compliance with the EU rules and regulations in order to ensure free movement of goods and services and mutual non-discriminatory attitude towards companies within the territory of Ukraine and the EU.

Chapter 9 Cognac and Armagnac In This Chapter ▶ Finding out where cognac and armagnac are made ▶ Deciphering the designations on labels ▶ Getting familiar with the well-known brands ▶ Finishing a meal with a warm drink rance produces two kinds of brandy: cognac and armagnac. FBoth are named after the region in which they’re made, and both are delicious. Cognac Cognac can be produced only in the legally defined region of Cognac, France, located between the Atlantic and Massif Central — specifically, at the junction between the oceanic and continental climate zones. The region also straddles the dividing line between northern and southern climates. These four influences create a multitude of microclimates. In addition to the unique climate, the soil characteristics also foster a range of wine and, consequently, the cognac of each region. In 1909, the French government passed a law that only brandy produced in the “delimited area” surrounding the town of Cognac can be called cognac. How cognac is made The arduous, time-honored distilling and aging process is what makes cognac so special. The cognac you drink today was produced using methods dating back to the 17th century. The distillation of cognac is a two-stage process: 14_633120-ch09.indd 6914_633120-ch09.indd 69 7/26/10 10:50 AM7/26/10 10:50 AM 70 Part II: Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 1.

U.S. Cognac Market How do you improve upon a good French wine? Make Cognac! Distilled from white wine grown in an area extending from the banks of the Charente all the way to the Atlantic coast, Cognac is one of the many fine gastronomic delights that the French offer to the world. Cognac has seen a resurgence in recent years, as more Americans are enjoying France’s native spirit. In 2018, 6.4 million 9-liter cases were sold in the U.S -- an increase of 12.5% over 2017 volumes.

Cognac: Its History and Production
Сельское хозяйство / 4.Технологии хранения и переработки сельскохозяйственной продукции. I. M. Dovgun V. Yakymchuk National University of Food Technologies, Kyiv, Ukraine Cognac: Its History and Production The origin of Cognac dates back to the 16th century when Dutch settlers came to this French region to buy salt, wood, and wine and other goods. However, the journey back home made preserving the wine difficult and they needed to find a better way to conserve it. They started by distilling the wine into eau-de-vie, which was a good solution to preserve it, but eventually they realized a second distillation made for an even finer, more elegant and pleasant product. This is essentially the birth of brandy. In fact, the word “brandy” comes from the Dutch word “brandewijn” which means burnt wine. Brandy is made all over the world, but only brandy made in the Cognac region of France and under the strictest guidelines, can be called “Cognac.” The Cognac region stretches over two regions in western France, Charente-Maritime (bordering the Atlantic Ocean) and Charente (a little further inland). There are six growth areas designated for producing Cognac. They are as follows: Grand Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, and Bois Ordinaires. The process of making Cognac starts out with the pressing of the white grapes in a pneumatic press to receive grape juice followed by a 10 day fermentation period. The resulting white wine is highly acidic and very fruity with low alcohol (8–10º) content. This is an ideal canvas for creating a fine Cognac. The goal of distillation is to select and concentrate the aroma and bouquet contained in the wine.

A Test in Discernment of Scotch Whiskey and Cognac Brandy Among Untrained Tasters
A Test in Discernment of Scotch Whiskey and Cognac Brandy Among Untrained Tasters Adrian Röllinand Martine Zilversmit Abstract Scotch whiskey and Cognac brandy are among the most highly prized distilled spirits in Europe and the New World. Centuries of amateur and professional food science have been devoted to developing the ingre- dients and aging methods that give these beverages their highly prized flavours. Although each of these beverages inspires a devoted and often exclusive following, it has been recently proposed that an untrained indi- vidual would not be able to reliably discern these two drinks based only on taste and aroma. Here we examine this hypothesis with a highly so- phisticated experimental design using statistical models and experimental procedures. 1 Introduction The discovery of “Stone Age” beer jugs places the advent of alcoholic beverages at the Neolithic period, circa 10,000 BC. The technology of distillation can be dated to second century BC Babylonia, with the modern form of the process arising in the Middle East in the eighth century [5]. Still, it was not until the mid-12 century that this technology was used to make potable beverages, known as “elixirs” to experimental alchemists of the time [5]. Over the subsequent centuries, alcoholic spirits have evolved into an array of highly divergent and complex beverages, many with specific regional varieties. Two of the most popular forms of European spirits are whiskey (made from fermented grain mash [7]) and brandy (made from fermented fruit, often grapes [3]) with Scotch whiskey and Cognac brandy regarded as some of the finest forms of these liquors.
