The Charentais region of Cognac is getting a shake-up with gin production taking over.

98% of its vineyards are used for cultivating brandy.

Only 3% of the premium brandy is drunk domestically.

Cognac looks set to lose a significant amount of sales from the former.

The Gomberts and their children relocated to Cognac in 2021 .

Back on their native island, diverse dinner guests were the norm, including friends of Indian , Chinese , continental African and European descent.

The couple’s cooking classes, says Bernard , “are a way for us to show off our Réunionnais heritage”.
