Due to its very specific feature - to shot and spume - champagne was considered to be as an exceptional divine drink of kings and an insidious temptation of a devil as well. It has always been an inherent symbol of celebration, victory, initiative. more

 

The practice of production of sparkling wines is much alike to that of champagne. The difference is that the natural secondary wine fermentation undergoes not in bottles but in hermetically closed vats.

The main feature that unifies both methods of champagne production is that a game of bubbles both in a bottle and in a huge vat originates during the natural fermentation encouraged by the addition of selected yeasts when the sugars turn into carbon dioxide.

Brandy is mostly produced from Ugni Blanc grape sort (about 90-98% of the Cognac vineyards are planted with Ugni Blanc, the rest are Folle Blanche and Colombard). The wine from these grapes reaches a very low alcohol level (7-9 degrees) while retaining high acidity. Wines of this sort are ideal for distillation, and this is a good start for high quality cognac and brandy production. The grape harvest usually begins in this region around the 3rd or 4th week in September. The majority of grapes are harvested mechanically (still several well known producers harvest at least part of their vineyards manually), than pressed and fermented. more
