If pomace is the raw material, the beverage may be called " pomace brandy ", "marc brandy", "grape marc", "fruit marc spirit", or "grape marc spirit"; "marc" being the pulp residue after the juice has been pressed from the fruit.
Terminology and legal definitions In the general colloquial usage of the term, brandy may also be made from pomace and from fermented fruit other than grapes.
The pomace from the grape pressing is used to make Marc de Champagne, and in this case the production does not compete with that of Champagne, since the pomace is a by-product of wine production.
The remaining paste (pomace) still contains a small quantity (about 5–10%) of oil that cannot be extracted by further pressing, but only with chemical solvents.
The resulting oil is not "virgin" but "pomace oil".
This spirit is made from the distillation of the pomace of grapes.
