Did you know? How to produce cognac?
From vineyard to final blend, cognac production is a long and sensitive journey. After harvesting ugny blanc grape varieties, the grapes undergo double distillation to obtain the eaux-de-vie. During the ageing, the cognac undergoes a rapid passage in new barrels to keep the natural aromatics of the eaux-de-vie. It will then be transferred into old barrels to continue its development in a humid cellar to promote its roundness and accentuate the rancios.

Just as not all sparkling wine is champagne, not all brandy is cognac. While brandy is any distilled spirit made from fruit juice, cognac must be produced in the state of Charente in the Cognac appellation and must be made from white grapes from one of six different terroirs. It should be distilled twice and then aged at least two years in French oak barrels. With strict standards in place to ensure quality of the final product, the taste of cognac is assuredly unique and exquisite.
Audry’s cognacs are made exclusively from grapes from the Petite and the Grande champagne terroirs and with the skill of the master blender in selecting the eaux-de-vie, the experience of the spirit results in a perfect blend that offers up endless possibilities.

Cognac Audry is perfect on a gorgeous day!
This vintage is an invitation to travel through time and discover a rich complexity of aromas and flavours.
A sumptuous bouquet with a rich and complex aromatic palette combining green pepper, fresh apple, spices, to***co, roast coffee beans, cocoa and ‘rancio’.

Audry’s cognac works well with desserts, particularly chocolate. The older the cognac, the darker the chocolate should be, as a general rule. Audry’s XO pairs beautifully with dark chocolate truffles or mousse. To calm down the bitter intensity of pure dark chocolate, try the Memorial vintage, with its extremely complex notes of green pepper, fresh apple, spices, to***co, roast coffee beans complimenting the chocolate perfectly.
Indulge in Audry’s Réserve Aristide paired with a beautiful Poires belle Helene – poached pear with chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream. The flavours of this French dessert are well-balanced with the aromas of spice, baked peach, black pepper, licorice, fig, nutmeg, cloves, honey, violets and marzipan of Audry’s 100% Grand Champagne cognac.

Rarity is a key quality of Audry’s cognacs.
The 40-year-old eaux-de-vie is essential in defining Audry’s distinctive quality. Re-discovered by his son, Bernard Boisson 40 years later, Henri’s eaux-de-vie is a rare gem that, in its limited quantity, is highly coveted. This makes Audry’s cognacs valuable and highly sought after.

Today, we celebrate 🇫🇷 Journée des Spiritueux Français 🇫🇷
Cognac was named after a city located in the Charente region, in France. In the 16th century, when trading with the French, the Dutch employed a distillation technique to ensure quality preservation of Charente wine during transportation back to Holland. The French eventually mastered and improved this technique, introducing a second level of distillation, resulting in the exquisite eaux-de-vie that forms the basis of cognacs today.
On this day dedicated to the heritage of the French spirit, sit back, relax and enjoy a beautiful glass of Audry cognac.

Ideal foods to pair with Audry’s cognac:
Cheese
Pair young cheeses with young cognac and more mature cheeses with a mature cognac. Indulge in Parmesan or aged gouda with a glass of Napoleon to help bring out the most luscious qualities of the cognac; a Roquefort or a Camembert go perfectly with sips of Audry’s XO vintage.
Charcuterie
Pâtés, terrines, and cured meats work well with cognac, being able to cut through the rich, fattiness of the food. Pair andouille, a hearty pâté or pork rillette with the good length and elegance of the Réserve Spéciale, keeping the palate from getting overwhelmed by all the animal fats and cream.

The concept of terroir—the French principle that factors such as soil, microclimate, and topography together influence the flavor characteristics of Cognac significantly.
Because the climate and soil of each terroir is unique, this results in different characteristics of the grapes grown in each area. Whilst the Grande Champagne region has hilly, chalky soil, the Petite Champagne region has less hilly, more compact chalky soil. Both regions are coveted for cultivating grapes for the eaux-de-vie because the high content of chalk allows for efficient drainage of water, whilst maintaining a good proportion of moisture – ideal conditions for growth. Also, grapes grown in these areas have a higher acid content which is vital in producing good Cognac.
Audry’s signature eaux-de-vie is only derived from the terroir of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions and with its long maturation period, produces the exquisite complexity of flavours unique to Audry’s range of Cognacs.
This vintage is a perfect balance between the tautness of a young cognac and the roundedness of a mature eaux-de-vie. Supple and smooth, the freshness of its bouquet is accompanied by scents of vanilla and basswood.
It has an easy palate with candied fruit notes and a good balance between the sharpness of a young cognac and the full-bodied roundness of a matured blend.
Taste the excellent blend of Audry’s 15 to18 year old eaux-de-vie and the provenance of 50% Grand Champagne and 50% Petite Champagne with NAPOLÉON.

There are generally 5 classifications for Cognac:
1) VS Cognac – “Very Special” Cognac; aged for a minimum of 2 years where the eau-de-vie ends up a light straw amber colour
2) VSOP Cognac – “Very Superior Special Pale”; the youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend must be minimally 4 years old; has a rounder flavour, with clear notes of oak and spices
3) XO Cognac – “Extra Old”; minimally 10 years old, the eaux-de-vie usually has an average age of between 15 and 20 years, sometimes older. An excellent XO Cognac has a rich, full palate with good length and elegance with elements of warm spice, toffee, chocolate, nuts and dried fruit. Audry’s Napoléon and XO are excellent examples of good XO cognacs
4) XXO Cognac – “Extra Extra Old”; aged for minimally 14 years within French oak barrels. This rating is reserved for the most exceptional of blends with complexity and impressive length. Audry’s Réserve Spéciale is a perfect example of an XXO cognac with typical warm shades of amber
5) Hors d’âge – This specific category is for cognacs aged between 30 and 50 years old; taste the beautiful complexity and richness of Audry’s Exception, Mémorial and Réserve Aristide cognacs
