The Story
Founded in 1810 in Angeac, Maison Lhéraud embodies the artisanal excellence of Charentais cognac. Faithful to the family tradition, it elaborates vintage cognacs of rare authenticity, distilled in a Charentais still and naturally aged in its blonde stone cellars. The 1976 vintage, originating from the Bons Bois cru, reflects the patient know-how of a house that allows time to shape perfection.
The Vinification
Distilled in 1976, this Bons Bois Cognac has aged for long years in Limousin oak barrels, with no additives or reduction. The maritime terroir of the Bons Bois cru brings a fruity and slightly saline personality to the eau-de-vie (spirit). The slow interaction between the wood and the cognac has refined the texture and revealed woody and toasted aromas, enhanced by touches of eucalyptus, spices, and subtle rancio, leading to a harmonious finish.
The Tasting
The amber color with mahogany reflections heralds a cognac of great maturity. On the palate, the Lhéraud Bons Bois Cognac 1976 captivates with a balanced structure and exceptional aromatic richness. The woody and roasted notes harmonize with accents of eucalyptus, spices, and dried fruits, supported by a supple and silky texture. The subtle rancio, a mark of great age, underscores the nobility of the whole, before a long, harmonious, and persistent finish. A cognac of emotion and depth, a reflection of the terroir and of time.

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.
Nicolas - Local Nose
A great 1976 vintage, deep and refined. The nose opens up with woody, toasted aromas and touches of eucalyptus. On the palate, the texture is supple and silky, with a noble rancio. Very harmonious and persistent finish.
