In the sixteenth century, wine growers decided to distil wines of uneven quality, produced in large quantities. The Chevalier de la Croix Maron had the idea of burning that wine a second time. Thus, he obtained a very pure eau-de-vie at 70%. By mixing it with water, he gave birth to Cognac. The production of Cognac goes through the distillation of dry acidic white wine. It is processed through two heating episodes as to obtain a Cognac eau-de-vie titrating 70 degrees. Stored in oak barrels, it takes the time to improve with age. – Three Star Cognac start at two and a half years old – La Grande Champagne Ageing denominations are an indication as to the age of the youngest eau-de-vie used in the blend.
