does it have bubbles or what? i was just given a bottle of remy martin and never noticed the label before. . .|||According to Wikipedia, The difference comes from the part of the Cognac region in France that it is made. So the only difference is geographical.
"The region authorised to produce cognac is divided up into six zones, including five crus (singular cru), broadly covers the department of Charente-Maritime, a large part of the department of Charente and a few areas in Deux-S猫vres and the Dordogne. The six zones are, in order of decreasing appreciation of the cognacs coming from them: Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, Fins Bois, Bon Bois and finally Bois Ordinaire. A blend of Grande and Petite Champagne Cognacs, with at least half coming from Grande Champagne, is known as Fine Champagne.
Note: these cognac-producing regions in southwestern France should not be confused with the northeastern region of Champagne, a wine region that produces sparkling wine by that name, although they do share a common etymology - both being deriviations of a French term for chalky soil."|||Simply, "champagne cognac" would be made from the champagne grapes and regular cognac is made from grapes from the Cognac area of France. Cognac or brandy is made by distilling wine and aging it in charred barrels, like whiskey. I'm sure that you could also make "champagne cognac" by aging the spirits in barrels use to age the wine used to make champagne.
