An eau-de-vie becomes cognac thanks to ageing in oak barrels The cellars of the Château de Cognac, with their 3-metre thick walls, guarantee a constant temperature of 15°C and an exceptional level of 90% humidity, due to the proximity of the Charente river. These exceptional conditions guarantee the harmonious, balanced taste of Otard Cognacs.

Anecdotally, part of the eaux-de-vie stored in the cellars evaporates off quite naturally. This is called "the angels share". For Otard, it represents the equivalent of 300,000 bottles a year! |
