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 1979 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 1979, this Fins Bois Cognac has benefited from prolonged aging in Limousin oak barrels, with no additives or reduction. The varied terroir of the Fins Bois, with its clay-limestone soils and temperate climate, confers a natural roundness and a rich aromatic complexity on the eau-de-vie (spirit). The interaction of the wood and the cognac has developed notes of stewed fruits, chocolate, and white pepper, in a harmonious and silky texture.
The Tasting
On the nose, the bouquet opens with stewed fruits and chocolate notes enhanced by white pepper. On the palate, the cognac proves to be balanced, powerful, and of great finesse, with a long and warm finish that leaves a persistent and harmonious impression. The 1979 vintage perfectly embodies the refined style and expressiveness of Lhéraud spirits.

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.
Nicolas - Local Nose
A powerful and refined 1979 vintage. The bouquet is very expressive, marked by stewed fruits and chocolate, enhanced by white pepper. On the palate, it is harmonious and silky. Very long and warm finish.
