Cognac
Sommelier Majda Debevc says that in Slovenia, cognac is drunk by two types of people: those who would like to be noticed but don’t even know what cognac is, and those who are simply hedonists. Which group do you belong to?
Cognac, brandy and vinjak: do you know the difference?
All three terms refer to spirits that are made very similarly – they are wine distillates aged in barrels, which gives them their colour and flavour.
Cognac as a type of drink is in English denoted by the word brandy. This type of drink can be produced from grapes or other fruit, but in the case of cognac, of course, it is a grape-based spirit. So every cognac is brandy, but not every brandy is cognac. In Slovenian, we know another, absolutely wonderful word for the drink we are talking about today – vinjak (wine brandy).
As you surely know, brandy can only be decorated with the noble title of cognac if it is produced in a specific geographical area. This is the French department of Charente, an area that includes six sub-regions with predominantly white grapes. As these could not compare to the grapes from the famous Bordeaux in terms of quality, the winemakers of Charente started to distil their product instead. Soon they discovered that the flavour of the distillate can be further refined by the maturation in oak barrels.
The name “cognac” is therefore reserved for brandies originating from the French province of Cognac. Because the name is protected, its production is strictly regulated.
Ageing of cognac – is it important?
The age of cognac is its most important characteristic, and the ageing only takes place in the barrel. Once the cognac is bottled, the ageing process stops. What does that mean? If the cognac is 10 years old when poured from the barrel into the bottle, it will retain this age, even if it is kept in the bottle for another 10 years.
It is the wood that imbues cognac with its rich aroma and colour. The older the cognac, the more refined it is. This is why it is crucial to use good-quality oak to make the barrels.
Cognac age designations
There are three official age categories:
V.S. or “Very Special” indicates that the cognac has been aged for at least 2 years.
V.S.O.P. (“Very Superior Old Pale” or Reserve) indicates a cognac aged in an oak barrel for at least 4 years. However, note that this age refers to the age of the youngest component in the bottle. Cognac marked V.S.O.P. may contain components that are much older than the said four years.
X.O. (Napoleon, Old Reserve): X.O. is short for Extra Old. These cognacs are aged for at least 10 years.
Common questions
Why is cognac so expensive?
It takes as much as nine litres of quality wine to produce one litre of cognac. In addition, during the long maturation, four percent of the distillate evaporates from the barrel every year. We call this the angels’ share. But this is not the only cost that contributes to the price; the costs must also include the time required for its ageing. And this is why cognac is so expensive.
What are the proper glasses for cognac?
Purists are of the opinion that there are only two types of glasses that should be used for drinking cognac if you want to savour it to the full. The first are tulip-shaped glasses. Their shape provides enough surface area for the liquid, while the tapered top directs the full power of the bouquet towards the nose. You can also use the balloon-shaped snifter, which is primarily intended for brandy, but is also more commonly used for cognac.
You can spend the whole evening with a glass of cognac. Cognac is drunk almost literally drop by drop – you have to take time to savour it.
At what temperature should cognac be stored?
Cognac should be stored at 20 degrees Celsius.
How long can you keep an open bottle of cognac?
Use an open bottle of cognac in about six months. You can transfer it into a smaller bottle, as this will keep the exposure to air to a minimum and thus preserve its quality as much as possible. You can keep an open cognac at room temperature, but the temperature should be more or less constant all the time.
