Alternatives: "a mix of climate" or "a blend of climate".
Brandy is made almost everywhere that wine grapes are grown, but it is only in the region surrounding the town of Cognac in France where a combination of climate and soil, tradition and strict legal controls on quality combine to produce a brandy entitled to bear the name cognac, a name renowned for its association with elegance, luxury, refinement and sophistication.
