The famous drink Cognac is named after the French town located in Charente (16). It is a beverage made from 90% (or more) specific wine grapes. Twice distilled in copper pot stills, the wines are placed for at least two years in oak barrels to become Cognac. It is generally appriciated after a meal, to extend a convivial moment but is also used in cooking to turn a goog sauce into a perfect one.
The Cognac producing region spreads on a big part of the Charente, on the Charente-Maritime and on some parts of Dordogne and Deux-sevres. This rural area is very diverse in terms of land, displaying red soil, rocky plains and greeny valleys. In the heart of this region, we find the cities of Jarnac, Segonzac and of course Cognac.
