The Story
Since 1810, Maison Lhéraud has embodied the art of vintage cognac with rare demanding standards. Located in Angeac, between Grande and Petite Champagne, it crafts spirits faithful to their terroir, distilled in a Charentais still and aged slowly in Limousin oak barrels. This 1977 vintage, sourced exclusively from the Petite Champagne cru, illustrates the Lhéraud style in all its nobility: balance, finesse, and depth.
The Vinification
Distilled in 1977, this cognac has benefited from prolonged aging in oak barrels, promoting natural micro-oxygenation and the full expression of aromas. Notes of candied fruits, licorice, spiced butter, and dried fruits combine with woody and floral nuances, for a delicate, silky, and harmonious texture. The Petite Champagne terroir brings finesse and elegance, while guaranteeing exceptional aging potential.
The Tasting
Amber in color, this vintage reveals a rich and complex aromatic bouquet. On the palate, the substance is balanced and spicy, supported by a long and persistent, subtly woody finish. The Lhéraud Petite Champagne Cognac 1977 offers a refined tasting experience, faithful to the character of the Maison's great vintages.

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.
Jana - Local Nose
A 1977 of elegant power. The nose is rich in candied fruits, licorice, and spiced butter. On the palate, it is balanced and spicy, with a silky and delicate texture. Very long and subtly woody finish.
