The legislation of many rules, including the time of harvest and sealing of barrels, all clearly stated and strictly adhered to, there is no creativity. Otherwise, the national committee, which controls the production of cognac, may prohibit the offender to call their product brandy.
The Cognac region is allocated 6 zones (Cru), or specific soil areas: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Hairdryer Bois, Bons Bois and Bois Ordiner.
Grapes growing on the land, which contains a lot of chalk. Well, just very much. Therefore, it matures very acidic. This grape is unfit for wine, but he gets a great cognac.

Once matured cognac, he poured from barrels into bottles. In this age of cognac countdown stops. Cognac is brandy spirits of different ages, mixing that can be a unique, unique aroma and taste. In France, cognac is marked by age of the youngest cognac spirit, cognac age in Russia is determined by the average age of all alcohols.

We started with cognac Bergerac. On the bottle says "four". When tasting it should first assess the color of the drink, and then examine the so-called "legs" (drops flowing along the walls), inhale the aroma is not popping the nose into the glass, then smell the cognac has been close and finally evaluated by taste.

In total, we have tried three different cognac: as I said Alexander Bergerac four, six and eight Kinovsky Old City. First taste seemed to me quite usual and ordinary, the latter - too rich or something, but pleasant enough. I really liked the second - cognac Kinovsky 6 years of aging. It has a pronounced wood aroma and taste to me more pleasant than others. After the tour, we even bought a bottle home. In the company store the tourists offer a 10% discount.

Snack cognac lemon - a bad tone. Citric acid does not give the taste buds a taste of brandy, with the same success it is possible to drink and vodka, will not care.

In general, all these tours and tastings - a strong move. Before that, I just knew that there was such KiN plant, which produces some brandy there. Now I know that this group of companies, which includes not only the plant, but the winery Domaine des Broix in the province of Grande Champagne (France) and vodka production.
The oldest company "Kin" was founded in 1940. Vineyards were acquired in 2004.
