However, there is no internationally recognized definition and outside the EU it is sometimes made with other fruits. Examples of brandy include pisco, armagnac or Obstler (a brandy produced in Austria and Switzerland). Cognac, however, is always made with grapes and has a very specific distillation and blending process located in a small, protected area in the southwest of France.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"section  is-style-default alignfull\" id=\"quote-block_e52c65a5735db88e7bd7614322474518\">\n\t\t<div class=\"quote\" data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-delay=\"30\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 justify-content-center text-center quote__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cAll cognac can be<br \/>\nconsidered as brandy, but not all brandy is cognac.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"section\" id=\"copy-news-block_9ab55a433a554fe407edb142585e3942\">\n\t\t<div class=\"copy-news\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 offset-md-2 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;padding-top: 15px;font-size: 18px;letter-spacing: 2px;line-height: 140%\">BRANDY VS COGNAC<\/h2>\n<p>Maxime Pulci, international brand ambassador for <span class=\"nowrap\">R\u00e9my Martin<\/span>, likens the comparison to a celebratory drink we all know well. \u201cBrandy is a category.

Here, there is a cognac AOC (appellation d\u2019origine controlee) \u2013 a legally defined area where a product can be made. Cognac\u2019s AOC spans from the banks of the Charente River to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and has six smaller growth areas, each with different terroirs \u2013 Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires.

Cognac is made with double-distilled dry, acidic white wine from the grapes \u2013 Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche \u2013 in its AOC. Distillation occurs in copper pot stills within the strict window between 1 October \u2013 31 March. Cognac can be distilled with or without the lees from the wine, but <span class=\"nowrap\">R\u00e9my Martin<\/span> makes cognac with the lees, for added richness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;font-size: 18px;letter-spacing: 2px;line-height: 140%\">HOW IS BRANDY MADE?<\/h2>\n<p>Brandy can be produced faster than cognac. Cognac, on the other hand, must be aged for at least two years in oak barrels to make a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.remymartin.com\/news\/stories\/what-does-vsop-and-xo-mean\/\">VS cognac<\/a><\/strong>. The House of <span class=\"nowrap\">R\u00e9my Martin<\/span> stipulates the use of oak wood coming mainly from the forests of the Limousin for its casks, which impart a vanilla flavour. The Cognac Fine Champagne eaux-de-vie that <span class=\"nowrap\">R\u00e9my Martin<\/span> uses needs to be aged for a long period of time to reach full maturity. Once it is made, a cognac must have an alcohol content of at least 40%. Some brandies are as low as 36%.

How does cognac taste in comparison to brandy? \u201cWhen you respect perfectly each step of the production \u2026 that will give you something rich in the mouth,\u201d says Maxime Pulci. \u201cIt is full of aromas. Fruity, floral, spicy notes, the vanilla, the toasting of the oak &#8211; a harmony that sip after sip will reveal [itself]. I love when I\u2019m doing a tasting and someone says, \u2018I don\u2019t like cognac.\u2019 I say, \u2018OK, now I will change your mind. Let&#8217;s do it.
