Gascony.<\/p><p>In 1911, the sale of Champagne was in crisis due to lack of demand (during World War I) and much of what was produced was poured down the gutters.\u00a0 The forward-thinking Jean Goyard (originally from Burgundy) decided to offer his services to help the struggling local winegrowers and turn their waste product from wine production into Champagne liqueur by distilling it!\u00a0 The distillery based in A\u00ff-Champagne still operates today and is open to visits from the general public.<\/p><p>This delicate wine brandy, now produced by many Champagne houses, can be
