Answer:
A brandy: a high-quality brandy distilled from white grapes in Cognac, western France . (-- ,)
It is brandy produced in the Cognac region of France.
Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a brandy, which is produced in the region surrounding the town. It must be made from at least 90% Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, or Colombard grapes. The rest of the cognac can consist of ten selected grapes. However, most cognac is made from Ugni Blanc only. It must be distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged at least 1/2 to 2 years in French oak barrels in order to be called cognac.

Hi!!
Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a brandy, which is produced in the region surrounding the town. It must be made from at least 90% Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, or Colombard grapes. The rest of the cognac can consist of ten selected grapes. However, most cognac is made from Ugni Blanc only. It must be distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged at least 1/2 to 2 years in French oak barrels in order to be called cognac.
A related drink produced in another region is Armagnac.
The region of Cognac, divided up into six growth areas, or crus (singular cru), covers the department of Charente-Maritime, a large part of the Charente and a few areas in Deux-Sèvres and the Dordogne. The six crus are, in order of decreasing appreciation of the cognacs coming from them: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bons Bois, and Bois Ordinaires.
A cognac made from just the first two of these crus (with at least 50% from Grande Champagne) is called "Fine Champagne" cognac, although cognac has nothing to do with the sparkling wine Champagne. ("Champagne" coming in both cases from old words alluding to agricultural fields.)
Even within the defined region, if a brandy is produced that fails to meet any of the strict criteria set down by the governing body of cognac production, the BNIC – Bureau National Interprofessionel du Cognac – it may not be called cognac, nor sold as such. Brandy produced elsewhere in France, or in other parts of the world, cannot properly be called "cognac".
It must be produced within the delimited region, from wine using certain grape varieties;
It must be obtained through double distillation, in typical copper Charentais stills;
It must age in French oak barrels, which give it part of its color and part of its taste.
Many of the cognac producers in the town of Cognac and the surrounding area allow visitors to taste their product; the bigger companies have guided tours to show visitors how the cognac is made.
The top cognac houses also produce premium-level cognacs. These include:
Extra by Camus is their premium cognac beyond XO containing their oldest cognacs from the Borderies, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions in a distinctive decanter style bottle.
Louis XIII by Rémy Martin is composed of more than 1,200 of the finest eaux-de-vie aged between 40 years and a century in very old Limousin oak barrels.
Richard Hennessy - produced by Hennessy, 'Richard' is a blend of over 100 eaux-de-vie aged up to 200 years. It is sold in a Baccarrat crystal blackman and is named after the founder of the company.
L'Esprit de Courvoisier - Courvoisier's leading cognac, presented in a hand-cut Lalique decanter, blended from eaux-de-vie up to 200 years old, and individually numbered.
Moyet Antiques - Moyet's Très Vieille Fine Champagne and Très Vieille Grand Champagne cognacs blended from some barrels over 150 years old, individually numbered and signed by the cellar master.

rather then all the technical stuff that everyone just copied off the web and spewed out. Congac is made from Champaign grapes... when you see the label V.S. or V.S.O.P.. it stands for very special.. or very special old pale.. it has just been redistilled to become stronger. All the technical stuff is good, but if you cant understand it, what good is it?
