La distillation s\u2019effectue en deux \u00ab chauffes \u00bb, au moyen d\u2019un alambic dit \u00ab charentais \u00bb en cuivre rouge d\u2019une forme bien sp\u00e9cifique, avec sa chaudi\u00e8re, ses cols de cygne et son serpentin. Le vin blanc, r\u00e9colt\u00e9 dans la zone d\u2019Appellation d\u2019Origine, est introduit dans la chaudi\u00e8re pour \u00eatre port\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9bullition. Les vapeurs d\u2019alcool se condensent pour former le \u00ab brouillis \u00bb, liquide trouble titrant environ de 28 % \u00e0 32 % volume.Le \u00ab brouillis \u00bb est ensuite mis en chaudi\u00e8re pour une seconde distillation, appel\u00e9e la \u00ab bonne chauffe \u00bb. Pour cette seconde chauffe, la capacit\u00e9 de la chaudi\u00e8re ne doit pas exc\u00e9der 30 hectolitres, le volume de la charge \u00e9tant limit\u00e9 \u00e0 25 hectolitres avec une tol\u00e9rance de 5 %, explique le site Cognac Destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3401\" srcset=\"http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927-768x1151.jpg 768w, http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927-1367x2048.jpg 1367w, http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927-8x12.jpg 8w, http:\/\/meukowcognac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_1927.jpg 1637w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>L\u2019art de la distillation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cette double distillation charentaise, dite \u00ab \u00e0 feu nu \u00bb, dure 24 heures et n\u00e9cessite une attention continue et une grande ma\u00eetrise du distillateur, pour donner au cognac toute sa personnalit\u00e9.
