Down in the Charente where the vineyards sway, Ugni Blanc grapes do their funky ballet. Wind whispers jokes through vine branches all day, Just double-distilled gold from alambic charentais. First run’s the brouillis, rough and rowdy and raw, Then bonne chauffe – voilà, eau-de-vie galore! Into Limousin oak, where the magic’s unfurled, Angels steal their share while we steal the whole world! Cognac, cognac, you smooth-talkin’ knave, VS for beginners, VSOP for the brave. XO for the ballers, Extra for the king, Six crus in the mix – that’s how the good times swing! Grande or Petite, you’re the toast of the night, Sip slow, don’t shoot it – or the French’ll start a fight! Grande Champagne’s the queen, elegant and light, Petite Champagne’s her sister, sweet and polite. Fine Champagne blend when the two hook up tight. Borderies drops nutmeg, nutty and bright! Fins Bois brings fruit, juicy and bold, Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires round out the fold. Rustic or refined, they all play their part, Six crus, one spirit – straight from the heart! Cognac, cognac, you smooth-talkin’ knave, VS for beginners, VSOP for the brave. XO for the ballers, Extra for the king, Six crus in the mix – that’s how the good times swing! Grande or Petite, you’re the toast of the night, Sip slow, don’t shoot it – or the French’ll start a fight! Aged in the fût till the rancio kicks in, That sherry-like funk makes the old-timers grin. Coupé for the blend, a master’s little trick, A dash from Paradise where the flavors are thick. Don’t chase it with cola – that’s a cardinal sin, Swirl it, nose it, let the legs do their spin. From grape to glass it’s a comedy sublime, Cognac’s the punchline – and the best damn time! Cognac, cognac, you classy ol’ fox, Tasty, delightful, and smoother than socks! From Charente to your snifter, the journey’s a blast, Raise your glass high – now let’s make it last! Grande Champagne’s dreams in every single drop… Cognac forever – never let it stop!
