Le trou normand name (please note there is no "e" at the end as trou which correctly translates to hole, is male in gender) is actually given solely to Calvados. Calvados is in Normandy, Cognac is not, so it is incorrect to call any Cognac a trou normand. To call Cognac a trou normand is akin to calling Budweiser the Rocky Mountain beer.
