DESCRIPTION
This Bas-Armagnac Napoléon has aged for 10 years in Limousin oak barrels, developing a beautiful complexity over time. It comes from a harmonious blend of Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, Colombard, and Baco, emblematic grape varieties of the region. Both on the nose and palate, this Napoléon is rich and generous, with indulgent notes of baked apple, coconut, and nougat, enhanced by subtle touches of ginger and cinnamon. A silky texture, a beautiful length, and an authentic signature. Perfect at the end of a meal or in bold pairings with savory dishes, it can be enjoyed with foie gras, crispy goat cheese and honey appetizers, aged Roquefort, or even caramelized cannelés. Also worth discovering: the history of Maison Lhéraud, and the other exceptional spirits from its cellars.
REGION
Nouvelle-Aquitaine
France
Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the largest wine region in France, stretching from Poitiers to Pau through iconic areas such as Bordeaux, Cognac, Agen and Bergerac. It holds an exceptional diversity of terroirs, backed by centuries of winemaking and distilling know how, making it the birthplace of some of the most renowned spirits in the world.
In the north, in Charente and Charente Maritime, they make the famous Cognac, double distilled from white wines, and Pineau des Charentes, a fortified wine blending grape must and young cognac, loved for its freshness and roundness.
Further south, in the Gers, the Landes and Lot et Garonne, they produce Armagnac, the oldest brandy in France. Traditionally distilled in a continuous still, it comes from three areas: Haut Armagnac, Ténarèze and Bas Armagnac. These three terroirs sit on the Lannemezan alluvial fan, an ancient soil of sand, clay and pebbles from the erosion of the Pyrenees. They give expressive, elegant and nuanced brandies, with aromas of ripe fruit, sweet spice and dried fruit, revealed as they age in cask.
