The question cannot be answered properly because you don't say where the brandy comes from. There are different laws in different countries.
Stars have no legal meaning, as far as I am aware.
In the EU brandy must be aged for at least 6 months in oak. Anything labelled as just 'brandy' will be the cheapest. Good brandy will be labelled as Cognac, Armagnac etc
