Since only brandy bottled within the Cognac region can legally be labeled as "Cognac," "Early Landed, Late Bottled Brandy" refers to spirits that left the region before bottling. Despite originating from the Cognac region and spending the vast majority of their maturation there, they cannot legally be called "Cognac.">
To ensure consumers understand that these brandies are virtually identical to Cognac, they are typically labeled as "Early Landed, Late Bottled Brandy" or with their specific sub-region (e.g., Grande Champagne) for identification.
