MOONSHADOW COGNAC, INSPIRED BY THE LEGEND OF THE LUNAR RABBIT

USPA NEWS - COGNAC is a Variety of Brandy named after the Town of Cognac, France. It is produced in the Surrounding Wine-Growing Region in the Departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime. Cognac Production falls under French Appellation d' Origine Contrôlée Designation, with Production Methods and Naming required to meet certain Legal Requirements. Among the Specified Grapes, Ugni blanc, known locally as Saint-Emilion, is most widely used. The Brandy must be twice distilled in Copper Pot Stills and aged at least Two Years in French Oak Barrels from Limousin or Tronçais. Cognac matures in the same way as Whiskies and Wines Barrel age, and most Cognacs spend considerably longer "on the Wood" than the minimum Legal Requirement.

Producing Regions : Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires, Bois à Terroirs... The Cognac-Producing Regions called Champagne should not be confused with the Northeastern Region of Champagne, a Wine Region that produces Sparkling Wine by that name, although they do share a Common Etymology.
