The city of Cognac where the French King Francis 1st was born, was originally surrounded by ramparts, and had a solier port, since it included a transit port for salt transported by barges. By the way, the King was born in 1494 in the Ch\u00e2teau de Cognac, occupied now by the Maison Otard and its summer cocktail bar. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Then in the 16th century, some Dutch people imported their distillation technique, which conveyed brandy to be preserved during long journeys. Most of the time, barrels were transported by boat, that’s why the Charente river, crossing the city, played an important role in the growth of the city. <\/strong>This logically gave birth to the Cognac wine industry, recognized as AOC since 1938, and its countless lands of vines, which currently covers 78,000 hectares. We are happy to remind you some basics of this industry and some players located inside Cognac, even in our video introducing this article. <\/strong>By Alex Plato<\/em><\/div>\n
