Because Brandy must be bottled in the Cognac region to be labeled as "Cognac" on the label.
Early Landed Late Bottled Brandy refers to brandy that has left the Cognac region before bottling. Therefore, even if it originates from the Cognac region and has aged mostly in the Cognac region, it cannot be called "Cognac" by law.

To inform consumers that this type of brandy is not much different from Cognac, it is generally labeled as "Early Landed Late Bottled Brandy" or a Cognac sub-region (e.g. Grande Champagne) for identification.
