Vintage Brandy

It’s France who set the benchmark for fruit spirits – with Cognac and Armagnac (grapes) and Calvados (apples and pears) being recognised the world over.

In this section however, we also cover some world fruit spirits – as well as a healthy dose of Vintage Brandy too.

Vintage Brandy

Where Cognac is dominated by large producers, it is with Armagnac where the smaller Châteaus get chance to shine.

Armagnac follows a similar path to Cognac in terms of production, however there is a wider use of permitted grape variety.

Key differences also include a greater variety of vintages with Armagnac – as well as an unnamed spirit, called Blanche.

Armagnac labelling:

Blanche (Unaged) – Minimum 3 months in stainless steel

VS (Very Special) – Minimum 1 year in oak

VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) – minimum 4 years on oak

Hors d’Age / Vintage – Minimum 10 years in oak

Blanche (Unaged) – Minimum 3 months in stainless steel
