The Story
Founded in 1810 in Angeac, Maison Lhéraud embodies the artisanal excellence of Charentais cognac. Faithful to the family tradition, it crafts vintage cognacs of rare authenticity, distilled in a Charentais still and naturally aged in its blonde stone cellars. The 1973 vintage, sourced from the Bons Bois cru, reflects the patient expertise of a house that allows time to shape perfection.
The Vinification
Distilled in 1973, this Bons Bois Cognac has aged for many years in Limousin oak barrels, with no additives or reduction. The maritime terroir of the Bons Bois brings a personality to this vintage that is both fruity and saline. The slow interaction between the wood and the cognac has enriched its texture and unveiled harmonious aromas of dried fruits, sweet spices, and lightly caramelized butter, enhanced by a delicate rancio.
The Tasting
The amber color, with golden and coppery reflections, heralds great maturity. On the palate, the attack is direct and balanced, supported by a supple and harmonious texture. Flavors of dried fruits, vanilla, caramel, and gingerbread unfold with elegance, sustained by fine tannins and a beautiful vivacity. The finish, long and warm, reveals nuances of noble wood and delicate rancio. A cognac of great elegance, both powerful and subtle, which captivates with its depth and balance.

France
La Nouvelle-Aquitaine est la plus vaste région viticole de France, s’étendant de Poitiers à Pau, en passant par des territoires emblématiques comme Bordeaux, Cognac, Agen ou Bergerac. Elle abrite une diversité de terroirs exceptionnelle, portée par des siècles de savoir-faire viticole et distillatoire, qui en font le berceau de spiritueux parmi les plus renommés au monde.
Au nord, en Charente et Charente-Maritime, on élabore le célèbre Cognac, issu de la double distillation de vins blancs, et le Pineau des Charentes, un vin de liqueur alliant moût de raisin et jeune cognac, apprécié pour sa fraîcheur et sa rondeur.
Plus au sud, dans le Gers, les Landes et le Lot-et-Garonne, on produit l’Armagnac, la plus ancienne eau-de-vie de France. Distillé traditionnellement en alambic continu, il se décline en trois zones : Haut-Armagnac, Ténarèze et Bas-Armagnac. Ces trois terroirs reposent sur le cône alluvial de Lannemezan, un sol ancien formé de sables, argiles et galets, issus de l’érosion des Pyrénées. Ils donnent naissance à des eaux-de-vie expressives, élégantes et nuancées, aux arômes de fruits mûrs, d’épices douces et de fruits secs, révélés au fil du vieillissement en fût.
