From the Cognac region of France, North of Bordeaux. The white wines, which are used for distilling, can only be produced in the region of the Charente, more specifically the area surrounding the town called Cognac. The region is divided into six different zones, terroirs,dependent on soil quality such as chalk, sand or clay.

There are about 160,000 acres of grapes planted in the Cognac region, which total about 15,000 plantations for the production of Cognac. The favorite grape variety is Ugni Blanc, because it is quite disease resistant and makes a certain type of wine needed for Cognac production.
