Nortac:
All cognacs are brandy, but not all brandy's are cognac.
Cognacs are made grapes only from one of six regions in Cognac, must be distilled twice in copper pot stills & must be aged in oak barrels for at least 2yrs (VS), 4yrs (VSOP), & 6yrs (XO), but there are cognacs that are even older.
"Cognac: liquor of the gods". Victor Hugo
