A mellow and perfectly balanced VS Cognac

The roots of Prince de Didionne Cognac date back to 1847 when Jules Gautret founded the original Cognac trade house in the city of Jonzac in the Haute Saintonge region. A century later, the house was acquired by the Coopérative des Viticulteurs Charentais and later changed its name to UniCognac SA. Today, it’s a subsidiary of the first cooperative group of the Cognac region, Ocealia, and since 2007, the premium Cognac is bottled at a state-of-the-art facility in Saint Germain de Lusignan

The Cognac House enjoys a symbiosis with about 500 Charentais winegrowers who provide it with the best wines, made mainly from grapes from the Petite Champagne, Fins Bois, and Bons Bois terroirs. This way, the costs of production and marketing are lowered for the winegrowers and UniCognac has a steady supply (Their stock of fine XO brandies is the largest in the Cognac region). The high-end Cognacs are finally distilled in UniCognac’s swan-neck Charentais pot stills before being blended by the maître de chai.

Prince de Didonne VS Cognac is crafted from Ugni Blanc grapes from a combination of the Fins Bois and Bons Bois terroirs. After it’s double distilled in traditional swan neck stills, it’s aged in oak casks from the Limousin and Troncais forests. The maître de chai selects Cognacs that are a minimum of three years old. The result is mellow and perfectly balanced with flavors of honeysuckle, jasmine, sweet baking spices, caramel, and vanilla. Its harmonious palate won this gorgeous sipper Gold and 90 points at the 2021 Bartender Spirits Awards.

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.
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.
Nine liters of white Wine must be distilled for a single liter of Cognac!
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.
The wine used for Cognac is very dry, acidic, and thin but excellent for distillation and aging.
