Cognac François Peyrot, in Mainxe-Gondeville, right in the heart of the Grande Champagne region — the very best cru of the cognac world. François gave us a full tour of his estate, in English, from the vineyards to the cellars. He let us film everything and share it here. The tour runs about 25 minutes and is worth every one of them. You'll see how real cognac is made, by a family producer who does everything on site. We bought several bottles. Obviously. Planning a visit? The farm tour is free
