The Story

Crafted by Maison Lhéraud, founded in 1810 in Angeac-Charente, this Très Vieux Pineau Lot n°0962 is a vibrant testament to Charentais expertise. Born from the 1962 vintage, it has aged for several decades in the Lhéraud family's blonde stone cellars, in the heart of the Cognac terroir. This exceptional Pineau received the distinction of 95 points and the Chairman’s Trophy at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022, consecrating its balance and aromatic depth.

The Vinification

This exceptional vin de liqueur (fortified wine) is created by the mutage (fortification) of grape musts with an aged Cognac eau-de-vie, following the traditional Charentais method. Aged extensively in oak barrels, it develops a unique richness and complexity. The terroir of Angeac, situated between land and ocean, imparts a balanced ripeness to the grapes, while the prolonged aging contributes woody, spicy, and time-mellowed notes.

The Tasting

With a deep amber color, this Très Vieux Pineau is immediately captivating on the nose with subtle aromas of spices, dried fruits, and honey. On the palate, the attack is direct but silky, giving way to a perfect balance between sweetness and liveliness. The texture, velvety and complex, is enriched with nuances of vanilla, hazelnut, and blond tobacco, before a long, spicy, and warm finish. A Pineau for the ages, to be savored slowly like a great cognac.
