More About Cognac

The grape brandy that takes its name from this charming French town has been cultivated since the Middle Ages and traded since the 12th century. Ideal for history buffs, the commune boasts a rich political background and dedicated cultural focus on its distillery history, including the Musée des Arts du Cognac built into the medieval town’s old walls.

Adventurers will delight in exploring the many significant stops along the famed Cognac Route from the Roche Courbon Castle to the Fontdouce Abbey.

Regions in Cognac

While Cognac may officially be split into six geographical areas, we’d consider it to be informally split into three distinct sections: the coast, the river and inland.

The coast

The coastal towns come steeped in history and tradition. They all bring a unique character to Cognac, including bohemian charm, maritime history, bustling markets, vibrant ports, oyster huts, sandy shores and quaint villages.

Don’t miss you chance to taste Camus Ile de Ré Fine Island Cognac. It truly is a testament to the island’s unique terroir!

The river

The River Charente has shaped Cognac’s history, culture and, of course, its world-famous spirits. With a history dating back to Roman times, Cognac’s growth has been inextricably linked with the river.

Explore this region to find historic distilleries and stop by some of the world-renowned Cognac houses, such as Courvoisier.

The inland

In the heart of the Cognac area, you’ll find its most well-known crus: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. These areas are a must-visit for any wine-loving traveller for its optimal soil composition and microclimate.
