However, they were tragically decimated by a pest called Phylloxera vastartrix. Prior to 1875, the majority of Cognac vineyards were planted with Folle Blanche, Colombard and Montils grape varieties. The other 10% can come from other grape varieties such as Montlis, Semillon, Select, Meslier St-Francois, Jurancon Blanc or Folignan. Cognac has to be made from at least 90% eau-de-vie from these grapes. These vines produce a fruit that gives a very light, acidic wine, perfect for distilling into the raw component of Cognac eau-de-vie. The sour, acidic wine that eventually becomes Cognac, is typically obtained from three different types of white grapes: Ugni Blanc (or Trebbiano), Folle Blanche and Colombard.
