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 1993 vintage, sourced exclusively from the Petite Champagne cru, illustrates the Lhéraud style in all its nobility: balance, finesse, and depth.
The Vinification
Aged in Limousin oak barrels, this cognac benefits from optimal micro-oxygenation which enriches the aromatic palette. Aromas of candied fruits, vanilla, nuts, honey, chocolate, and wood blend with spicy notes to offer a creamy, velvety, and structured texture. The Petite Champagne brings finesse, length, and harmony on the palate.
The Tasting
Amber in color, the Lhéraud Petite Champagne Cognac 1993 is distinguished by its elegant power and refined complexity. The long and warm finish, punctuated by fine tannins and a subtle spice, reveals a perfect balance and a finesse typical of great vintages. Ideal for savoring or for keeping in a collector's cellar.

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.
Elegant
A 1993 of great refined complexity. The nose is rich in candied fruits, vanilla, honey, and chocolate. On the palate, the texture is creamy and velvety, supported by fine tannins. Long and warm finish, perfectly balanced.
