The Story
Since 1810, Maison Lhéraud has crafted vintage cognacs of rare finesse, faithful to the Charentais tradition. Established in Angeac, in the heart of the Fins Bois, it perpetuates ancestral expertise passed down from generation to generation. This 1972 vintage, sourced from the Fins Bois cru, testifies to a masterful balance between aromatic richness and elegance, the fruit of half a century of patience and mastery.
The Vinification
Distilled in 1972, this Fins Bois Cognac has aged naturally in Limousin oak barrels, with no additives or reduction. The Fins Bois terroir, combining clay-limestone soils and an oceanic climate, confers remarkable roundness and depth on the eau-de-vie (spirit). The prolonged micro-oxygenation from the wood has enriched its texture and developed delicate aromas of chocolate, candied fruits, and sweet spices.
The Tasting
On the nose, this vintage reveals a harmonious bouquet of candied fruits, chocolate, and spicy notes. On the palate, the texture is soft and velvety, with a long and elegant finish punctuated by floral and herbaceous touches. The Lhéraud Fins Bois Cognac 1972 embodies the perfect balance between aromatic complexity and terroir finesse.

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.
Liz - Local Nose
A 1972 that excels in roundness and depth. The bouquet is very harmonious, dominated by candied fruits, chocolate, and sweet spices. The texture is soft and velvety. Elegant finish with subtle floral notes.
