If you were a Cognac producer, after how many years of aging would you be free to call your Cognac any name you want? (According to the Cognac guidelines)

Hi mozart,
Wow, the Wikipedia article was pretty complicated, and I didn't realise there were so many rules related to the cognac making process. I found this:

Cognac may not be sold to the public, or indeed called 'Cognac', until it has been aged for at least two years, counting from the end of the period of distillation (1 April following the year the grapes were harvested).

That is right dance girl but it doesn't answer my question. Cognac will be called so as you said following "appellation controllée " rules and will be called VS or VSOP or Napoleon etc.... But let say ( you are in France producing Cognac) you would like to call your Cognac " White Castle" for instance, it won't be permitted until the Cognac has aged a minimum of time, only then you may call it whatever you wish. It's more than 2 years. Smile
