World Selection of Cognac with Mr. Pierre H. Dubarry, Cognac Moyet Cognac, named after the town of Cognac in France, is a variety of brandy. It is produced in the winegrowing region surrounding the town from which it takes its name, in the French Departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime. For a brandy to bear the name Cognac, an Appellation d'origine contrôlée, its production methods must meet certain legal requirements. In particular, it must be made from specified grapes of which Ugni blanc, known locally as Saint-Emilion, is the one most widely used. The brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais. Cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wine when aged in barrels, and most cognacs are aged considerably longer than the minimum legal requirement. Cognac Moyet, worshipped by the leading sommeliers and cognac connoisseurs around the world, and celebrated in the Press around the world, is the winner of many cognac contests. Mr Pierre H. Dubarry, the General Manager of the famous Cognac Moyet in France, will host a Congace and Chinese food pairing dinner in Hotel ICON’s Above & Beyond. We are also pleased to have invited Mr Dubarry to share his Cognac philosophy.
