Under French law, backed by international law, only drinks produced in a certain geographic area of France may bear the name "cognac" (Cognac) — much like
champagne
. All other drinks produced outside the country cannot be called cognac. Even in other regions of France,
French cognac
cannot be produced. Everything made outside the borders of Poitou-Charentes goes by the name
brandy
.
Within Russia,
Russian cognac
may carry that name, but only when written in Cyrillic. Russian cognac shipped for export is automatically renamed "Russian brandy."
Armenian cognac
enjoys the special privilege of being called cognac. In 1900, Nikolai Shustov, the owner of cognac distilleries in Yerevan, won this right at the World's Fair in Paris. Ever since, Armenian cognac has been called by the proud word "cognac" even outside Armenia.
How do you drink cognac
? Cognac should be drunk slowly, savoring the taste and, even more importantly, the aroma of this drink. The best
cognac pairing
, officially endorsed by the experts, is any sweet
dessert
. Absolutely anything works: apple charlotte, nut soufflé, coffee mousse, all kinds of cheese, seafood and
seafood dishes
, caviar. It's believed that the taste of cognac can be highlighted and enhanced only by
coffee
.
Of fruits
, a special aftertaste from cognac lingers when it's paired with peaches.
Lemon is not recommended as a cognac pairing, because it will cancel out all the flavor sensations of the drink.. Everything made outside the borders of Poitou-Charentes goes by the name
