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 1988 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 1988 and aged in Limousin oak barrels, this cognac benefits from a natural maturation that develops roundness and aromatic depth. The aging in wood promotes the expression of spicy notes, cocoa, stewed fruits, and vanilla, in a soft and velvety texture. The clay-limestone terroir and the temperate climate of the Fins Bois confer balance and harmony on the eaux-de-vie (spirits).
The Tasting
On the nose, aromas of spices and cocoa are expressed, enriched with touches of stewed fruits and vanilla. On the palate, the cognac captivates with its smoothness, balance, and controlled power. The long and subtly spicy finish leaves a warm and refined impression, true to the elegant style of Maison Lhéraud.

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.
Jerome - Local Nose
