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 1970 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 1970, this cognac has aged naturally in Limousin oak barrels, with no additives or reduction. The Fins Bois terroir, composed of clay-limestone soils and influenced by the oceanic climate, offers spirits that are round and fruity. Thanks to the micro-oxygenation from the wood, this cognac develops complex notes of vanilla, hazelnut, and sweet spices, while retaining a beautiful structure and a velvety texture.
The Tasting
On the nose, a bouquet of great complexity: dried fruits, honey, caramel, and delicate wood. On the palate, the substance is ample and silky, supported by elegant tannins and a long, warm finish. The Lhéraud Fins Bois Cognac 1970 embodies the quintessence of time and terroir: a meditation cognac, to be savored slowly, for the pure pleasure of depth.

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.
Anne - Local Nose
A 1970 vintage of great nobility from the Fins Bois cru. The nose is complex, mingling honey, dried fruits, and caramel. On the palate, the texture is ample and silky, underscored by very elegant tannins. Perfect for meditation.
