Cognac
sale - World Trade BaseElaboration Here are described the different phases of the elaboration of cognac. The assembly From beginning to end, the making of cognac (or 'elaboration') is the subject of a complex alchemy. The quality of each and every cognac depends as much on the "assemblies"as on the care given to the vine, the grape harvest, the wine making, the distillation and the ageing in casks. The cognac that you drink is in fact the fruit of "assemblies" of different vintages and different ages. It is these assemblies that produce the harmony in the taste. The "assemblies" are the result of unwritten ancestral know-how. They are the secret of the "maitres de chai" or "cellar masters", persons of exception who watch over the cognac from its exit from the still to the bottling. It is the cellar masters who, after years of patient training by the elders, decide to decant casks or to change cellars in order to best develop the quality of the spirit. They also decide when and how to assemble the spirits. It is often said of the cellar masters that they alone represent the true value of Cognac houses. The assembly is done in several steps that are spread throughout the entire ageing process. The cellar masters do not use any instruments of measure, they rely entirely on their judgement of taste and smell. Their senses are so accurate that they are always right.
