Cognac, a fabulous adventure

This recent synthesis on cognac is a focus on one of the most prestigious eaux-de-vie in the world, the flagship product of French exports. Its long history and the many crises have never diminished its influence on the men of all continents.

This contribution shows the very old wine-growing establishment and the commercial vicissitudes of an exceptional product.

A simple regional brandy has conquered the world in a few centuries and has managed to establish itself among the most prestigious alcohols. Powerful foreign and local dynasties have guided its destiny and safeguarded its future.

This eau-de-vie is also identified with a merchant city of the middle Charente: Cognac. Its consumption often marks the social ascent of informed consumers of alcoholic beverages, so cognac enters the range of luxury products of French haute cuisine.
