  • Cognac and Armagnac
    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 arma- Fgnac. Both 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 addi- tion 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: 74 Part II: Distilling the High Points of Various Spirits 1. A first distillate, known as brouillis, is obtained, with an alcoholic strength of 28 to 32 percent. 2. The brouillis is returned to the boiler for a second heating, which produces a liquid known as la bonne chauffe. The beginning and the end of this second dis- tillation (the head and tail) are discarded, leaving only the heart of the spirit, which becomes cognac.

  • Armagnac Appreciation 101
    Armagnac appreciation 101 By Jason Wilson Tuesday, January 18, 2011; 11:43 AM The bottle of Armagnac sat on display near the counter of my local liquor store for over a year. When it comes to spirits, I'm not normally moved by come-hither numbers, but in this case the Chateau de Laubade's classic 1957 vintage and its $399.99 price tag aroused a kind of lust that wasn't normal. I was waiting for the slightest, flimsiest justification or provocation to buy that bottle of brandy, which was strange, because until recently I'd never tasted much Armagnac. Then, in late November, I traveled to Gascony, in southwestern France. This was the traditional time of year for distillation, after the annual grape harvest, when production happens around the clock. At night, during these weeks, distillers dine, play cards, smoke cigars and even throw parties right next to their hot stills, which are in many cases still fueled by wood. I went to a couple of such soirees and ate so much rich Gascon foie gras that I feared I might meet the same fate as the geese. To wash it all down, I drank a whole lot of Armagnac, ranging across many producers, blends, vintages and price points. Decadent? Yes, incredibly so. And it only fueled my new Armagnac desire. Gascony is notoriously provincial and ornery. "It's difficult to get to and from here," said Arnaud Lesgourgues, president of Chateau de Laubade. "We don't have any airport.
