The Story
Since 1810, Maison Cognac Lhéraud has perpetuated a tradition of excellence in the art of vintage cognac in Angeac. Established in the heart of the Charentais terroir, it crafts uncompromising eaux-de-vie (spirits), distilled in a Charentais still and naturally aged in its blonde stone cellars. This 1976 vintage, sourced from the prestigious Grande Champagne cru, is an ode to time and precision: a distinguished cognac of timeless elegance.
The Vinification
Distilled in 1976, this cognac has benefited from prolonged aging in oak barrels, allowing for gentle and natural micro-oxygenation. The chalky terroir of the Grande Champagne confers finesse, balance, and typicity on the spirits. The floral aromas (hawthorn, acacia), the notes of dried fruits and spices, and the exotic touches of stewed mango, coconut, and passion fruit develop with depth, offering a refined and harmonious cognac.
The Tasting
The deep amber color precedes a complex bouquet of white flowers, dried fruits, and spices. On the palate, the silky texture and present tannins support a long and elegant finish. The tasting reveals a perfect harmony, typical of Grande Champagne vintages, combining power and refinement. This cognac is ideal for tasting or for cellaring for connoisseurs of 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.
