To be labeled a cognac, as opposed to a mere brandy, the eau-de-vie must come mainly from three types of white grapes - Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard - grown in the areas around the town. Despite coming from vineyards in an even more exclusive area, Louis XIII is still the blend of 1,200 individual eaux-de-vie.
