The vineyards of petite champagne, which encircle the famous grande champagne, grow in soils whose chalk is more compact and in a climate more influenced by the sea and the continental mass. Cognacs from this district are softer, fruitier, and more accessible than their austere grande champagne cousins, and have appealing floral overtones.
