The Complete 2026 Guide to Cognac Delivery
Cognac is one of the world’s most refined spirits—crafted from French grapes, distilled twice in copper pot stills, and aged for years in oak. Buying Cognac online makes it easier than ever to compare houses, aging tiers, flavor profiles, and pricing. This guide breaks down how Cognac is made, what the labels mean, the main styles you’ll see, and how Cognac delivery works when ordering from licensed retailers in the U.S.
1. What exactly is Cognac?
Cognac is a protected style of brandy made in the Cognac region of France. It must be distilled from specific white grapes (primarily Ugni Blanc), double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of two years. Age statements like VS, VSOP, and XO reflect how long the youngest eaux-de-vie in the bottle has matured.
2. How Cognac is made (simplified)
Despite its luxury reputation, Cognac production follows strict and traditional steps:
- Harvest: Grapes (mostly Ugni Blanc) are picked and pressed.
- Fermentation: Juice ferments into a dry, acidic wine.
- Double distillation: Copper pot stills convert wine into eaux-de-vie.
- Aging: Spirit rests in French oak barrels, developing complexity.
- Blending: Master blenders combine eaux-de-vie for balance and style.
- Bottling: Cognac is filtered, proofed, and packaged.
3. Main types of Cognac you’ll see online
- VS (Very Special): Aged at least 2 years; bright and youthful.
- VSOP: Aged at least 4 years; richer and more rounded.
- XO: Aged at least 10 years; deep, layered, and luxurious.
- Napoléon: Between VSOP and XO; elegant and complex.
- Single Cru Cognac: From specific regions like Grande Champagne.
- Hors d’Âge / Prestige: Ultra-aged, rare, collector-level Cognac.
