Cognac "Sargis" - pleasure for gourmets

Armenian cognacs still won prizes in Soviet times, and often the first, for which they were widely known not only in their homeland and the territory of the former CIS, but also in many other countries.

Origins

The best Armenian cognac is made from native endemic grape variety, which grows exclusively in the Ararat valley. The very process of production practically does not differ from the classical, in particular, French. But the Armenian cognac has one peculiarity: it consists in water, which is used by producers. If only distilled liquid is used during the creation of the French famous brandy, then everything is different. Armenian specialists make their cognac only on spring water. And she is surprisingly tasty and clean in this small mountainous country. Each cognac factory in Armenia has a spring source fixed to itself, and sometimes even several, from where, in accordance with the schedule of blending, water is delivered to production.

Ararat Cognac Factory has a long history behind its shoulders. It is a highly respected Armenian enterprise, in possession of which not only modern unique equipment from eminent European suppliers, but also exemplary vineyards stretching over an area of more than three hundred and fifty hectares in the vastnesses of the Ararat valley. Only experienced specialists work here, many of which are hereditary winemakers.

Today, one of the standards of the Armenian cognac industry was the trade mark "Sargis", which is widely represented on the market. Its name was given in honor of the national hero of the country. The hero of Armenia and the active preacher of Christianity Saint Sargis, who by the decree of the Emperor Constantine was appointed the prince of the Armenian army in the fourth century, gave his life in the name of faith. For this he was ranked as a saint.

In addition, Armenians consider St. Sargis the patron saint of lovers. According to legend, it was he who helped his disciple after seven years of separation to reunite with his beloved. In addition, the brandy "Sargis" bears the name and director of the Ararat Cognac Factory. And it happened not accidentally. It is Sargis Grigorievich Varzhapetyan who is the man who made a lot of efforts in establishing the reputation of this brand on the world stage. He managed to revive at Ararat Plant the production of brandy of only the highest quality and in accordance with the old Armenian traditions.
