French brandies are distilled spirits made from grapes grown in the Cognac and Armagnac regions of France. The two most popular types of French brandies are Marc and Fine. Marc is a type of brandy made from the residue of grapes after they have been pressed for wine. It is usually aged for at least two years and has a strong, earthy flavor. Fine is a type of brandy made from the first pressing of grapes and is usually aged for at least three years. It has a smoother, more delicate flavor than Marc.
