The two most prestigious crus join forces.

The story of Godet Cognacs is really, really long. We’ll try not to bore you too much wih every detail possible as you can imagine a thing or two has happened in the 4 centuries (add or take a couple of decades) since the story started in 1588. It was then that a Dutch merchant Bonaventure Godet founded a salt and Wine business in the harbour of La Rochelle on the western coast of France. Godet was one of the first traders of the “Dutch burnt wine” — the name under which Cognac was known back in the day. Over the years, the craft and taste have been refined, but Godet Freres Cognac remains 100% family-owned today when it is run by the 15th generation of Godet family

Godet XO Fine Champagne Cognac is a blend of two of the most revered crus: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. It tells the story of the Atlantic Ocean and the harbor of La Rochelle, expressing the terroir with deep, floral, and complex aromas and flavors of jasmine, prune, honey, and fine Russian leather. It’s ranked Fine Champagne AOC, which stands for Appellation d'Origine Controlée. Elegant sippers like this should be savored neat, but we promise not to tell anyone if you make a fine ass cocktail...

Nine liters of white Wine must be distilled for a single liter of Cognac!
The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
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.
Cognac is a form of distilled Brandy. For a spirit to be labeled Cognac, it must be made from specified grapes, of which Ugni Blanc is the one most widely used. It must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais.
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).
There are three primary grades of Cognac recognized by law: V.S., V.S.O.P., and X.O, but we also know Napoléon, XXO, and Hors d'âge.
