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 1982 vintage, sourced exclusively from the Petite Champagne cru, illustrates the Lhéraud style in all its nobility: balance, finesse, and depth.
The Vinification
Distilled in 1982, this cognac has benefited from prolonged aging in oak barrels, promoting micro-oxygenation and the full development of aromas. Notes of spiced butter, dried fruits, wood, vanilla, and chocolate harmonize with rich tannins, offering an ample, velvety, and perfectly balanced texture. The Petite Champagne terroir ensures finesse, aging potential, and aromatic typicity.
The Tasting
Amber in color, the Lhéraud Petite Champagne Cognac 1982 seduces with its power and refined balance. The long, subtly spiced finish reveals remarkable freshness for its age. An exceptional cognac, ideal for tasting or for keeping as a cellar treasure.

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.
William - Local Nose
This 1982 is powerful with a refined balance. The nose reveals aromas of spiced butter, dried fruits, vanilla, and chocolate. On the palate, the texture is ample/full and velvety, with rich tannins. Long finish and endowed with remarkable freshness.
