M MARC Marc is another kind of Brandy and is distilled from the residue of pressed grapes. The Marc de Bourgogne and the Marc de Champagne are the most renowned. VERMOUTH Vermouth, in German Wermut, or Wormwood in English, is white wine fermented in the sun, fortified with alcohol and rendered aromatic by adding herbs and spices. The two best Vermouths made in France are the Noilly-Prat and the Chambery. Italy also produces several high class Vermouths of which Martini is the best known: they are generally very sweet, being made mostly of Muscat grapes. ARMAGNAC Armagnac comes from the district of the same name in the department of the Gers, south-east of Bordeaux. Most of that fine product is made by small land and vineyard owners, and, unlike Cognac Brandies, is distilled at a consider able lower degree: it is heavier and matures more quickly. CALVADOS Calvados or Apple Brandy is made in the department of Calvados in Normandy. Distilled from Cider, it is delicious when properly aged.
