This grape variety accounts for Cognac&#8217;s finesse and elegance, while the various production stages contribute to its aromatic richness.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first stage, alcoholic fermentation, produces esters responsible for the development of floral and fruity aromas in new wine spirits. This is followed by double distillation, which preserves the fruity flavors and freshness of the wine. Once in barrel, the wine spirit will develop over time depending on the types of barrel used, and the aromas will gradually be expressed. Carefully monitored by the cellar master, the wine spirit is moved between dry and humid cellars, as well as new and used oak barrels.<\/p>\n<p>The length of aging, together with the &#8220;cru&#8221; or growing area, will influence the rate of development of floral, fruity and oaky aromas. During aging, Cognac acquires more specific aromas: (e.g. almond, cherry, jasmine, oak, rancio, etc.).<br \/>\nA combination of terroir, expertise, carefully-controlled processes, and scientific and technical research blend together to create the unrivalled Cognac experience, appreciated around the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1566824153613{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;background-color: #f2f5f4 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"color-vert\">Terroir, know-hows and controlled process, scientific and technical research,<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"color-vert\"><strong><em>are all together ingredients that give cognacs their unique quality.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section full_width_section=&#8221;non&#8221;][vc_row full_width_row=&#8221;non&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562595290522{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width_row=&#8221;non&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562231665022{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Due to the proximity of the ocean, rain can fall at any time of year, so drought conditions are rare and the vines receive&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":45663,"parent":10619,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10434","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"illustration_couleur":"#e44b08","illustration_desktop":"https:\/\/www.cognac.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/decouvrir-une-eau-de-vie-dexception.jpg","illustration_mobile":"https:\/\/www.cognac.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/decouvrir-une-eau-de-vie-dexception-mobile.jpg","image_de_fond":false,"description":"<p class=\"p1\">Cognac has benefited from carefully regulated and controlled production methods, alongside scientific and technical support for over 125 years.
