Cognac Varieties
Cognac is a kind of brandy named after the town of Cognac in the French province of Charente-Maritime. Wine from the neighboring wine-growing area, Charente and Maritime, is used to make this liqueur.
Cognac production is governed by the French appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designation, with certain production techniques and naming criteria that must be followed in order to maintain AOC status. Ugni blanc, often known as Saint-Émilion in the region, is the most commonly planted of the grapes on the list. Two distillations in copper pot stills are required, as is an aging period of at least two years in French oak barrels from the Limousin or Tronçais regions of France. While cognac develops in the same manner as whiskies and wines do in barrels, the majority of cognacs spend much more time "on the wood" than the statutory minimum amount of time.
Cognac has often humorously been described as "nearly undrinkable" because of the dryness, acidity, and thinness of the white wine used in the production of cognac. Despite this, the wine is ideal for distillation and maturing. A limited number of grape varietals are permitted to be used in its production. For a wine to be deemed a genuine cru, it must contain at least 90 percent Ugni blanc as its primary grape. It is necessary to ferment for 2–3 weeks after the grapes have been crushed, during which time the region's natural, wild yeasts transform the sugar into alcohol; neither sugar nor sulfur may be added. The resultant wine has about 7 to 8 percent alcohol at this stage.
Once the distilling process is complete, it is aged in Limousin oak barrels for a minimum of two years before it may be sold to the general population. It is usually placed in barrels at an alcohol by volume level of about 70%. As the cognac interacts with the wood barrel and the surrounding air, it evaporates at a rate of about 3 percent per year, losing both alcohol and water over a period of time. This occurrence is referred to as "la portion des anges," which translates as "the angels' share" in the local language. When a cognac is aged for more than 10 years in an oak barrel, the alcohol level falls to 40 percent by volume. Once moved to huge glass bottles called bonbonnes, the cognac is kept for future blending purposes. Because oak barrels lose their ability to provide flavor after four or five decades, so aging them for extended periods of time may not be helpful.
About the Producer: Cognac D'Usse
Cognac D'Ussé is a brandy brand aimed at a young market. It was released in 2012 by Bacardi in partnership with rapper and music mogul Jay-Z. Cognac is commonly described as soft and easy to consume. The distinctive packaging features the Cruz de Lorraine. Cognacs are distilled and matured at the Château de Cognac on the banks of the River Charente in western France. Baron Otard brandy is also produced here. Cognacs are aged in a cellar with two different microclimates, which has a significant effect on the finished drink. A dry cellar brings woody notes, while a wet cellar brings more fruity and floral notes. Cognac D'Ussé finished products are a mixture of the two. The VSOP is at least four and a half years old. XO (much more expensive) contains brandy spirits that age for at least 10 years in French oak barrels. D'Ussé is usually spelled “Dusse”, which is the same as the brand's website address. After that, Deuces is a well-known cocktail associated with the brand.
