About Armagnac and Cognac

Armagnac is a grape brandy from the Gascony region of Southwestern France. Its closest relative is cognac, another grape brandy from an appellation located about 100 miles north of Armagnac.

The entire Cognac vineyard covers around 80.000 hectares (1 hectare = 2,47 acres) and 15.000 plantations that produce white wine for the production of Cognac. The main grape variety that is planted is Ugni blanc (mostly “Folle Blanche” and “Colombard”).
