Cognac, a product of the land, climate and traditional know-how of the Charente region of France, is the world's favorite brandy. Its celebrity is due to the innovations of generations of winegrowers, distillers and above all merchants who, from the 16th century on, went to great lengths to introduce to the world the wonders of cognac. From the small vineyards of the Grande Champagne area to the major multinational producers such as Hennessy, Martell and Remy Martin, over 80 different houses of cognac are presented in this book. Here you will discover the richness and variety too little known even in its country of origin. Beautiful color photographs by Matthieu Prier and Jean-March Lalier. Translated from the French.
