If it works, leave it be. 

Dobbe distillery is located in the heart of the Cognac region, more specifically in Salignac-sur-Charente. It was established sometime around 1787, when the family’s ancestors acquired a few acres of vines. With time and many harvests passing by, their passion for wine grew and so did their skills for producing Cognac.

The distillery is still a family owned operation; the tradition kept intact all these years – 7 generations in fact – and it can not be overseen in their expressions. Their estate extends mainly over the Petite Champagne area, one of the largest and most distinguished cru (areas) in the region of Cognac. The Dobbe XO Cognac is matured in oak barrels for at least six years, although we suspect it to be aged for much longer.

The French believe it or not, aren’t actually all that fond of Cognac. They export almost 90% of their production.
There are three different qualities of Cognac recognized by law: V.S. (very special), V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale), and X.O. (Extra Old).
The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
There are six different wine-growing areas (crus) authorized to produce Cognac - in descending order of prestige: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, and Bois Ordinaires.
Laws concerning Cognac-making are strict as hell. Only three types of grapes may be used, and they can only be harvested in October; Cognac must be aged for at least two years in barrels made from French oak - and get this, from one of two specific forests! Then, the stills must be of a particular French shape (no, not the baguette shape); and we guess La Marseillaise has to be sung during the entire process.
Rancio is a highly desirable nutty flavor usually found in extra-aged fortified wines (Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala …) and fruit-based Spirits, namely Cognacs, Calvados, and Armagnac. It appears in Cognac after roughly 10 years of maturing in oak casks, becoming more intense over the years.
