Published in 1947 within the authoritative Atlas de la France Vinicole by L. Larmat, this detailed map documents the outermost crus of the Cognac appellation: Bois Ordinaires and Bois Communs dits à terroir. Produced in the post-war period, the atlas reflects a systematic effort to codify France’s distilled spirits geography with technical rigor and professional clarity.

The composition delineates commune boundaries, vineyard zones, transportation routes, and hydrographic features across the peripheral belt surrounding the central Cognac crus. These districts extend toward coastal Charente-Maritime and inland zones, where maritime influence and more varied soils—often sandy, clay-based, or alluvial—shape the character of the eaux-de-vie produced. Subtle tonal gradations suggest terrain shifts and proximity to the Atlantic, emphasizing climatic distinctions from the chalk-rich Grande and Petite Champagne regions.

Communes are methodically plotted, reinforcing the administrative structure underpinning Cognac production and the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée framework established earlier in the twentieth century. Roads and rail lines illustrate the commercial networks that historically connected these vineyards to distillation centers and export markets.

Typography is restrained and analytical, consistent with Larmat’s intended audience of négociants, brokers, and professionals in the spirits trade. The map prioritizes geographic precision over decorative embellishment, presenting terroir as a function of soil composition, climate, and regulated boundaries.
