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 France's largest wine-growing region, stretching from Poitiers to Pau, via emblematic territories such as Bordeaux, Cognac, Agen and Bergerac. It is home to an exceptional diversity of terroirs, supported by centuries of winemaking and distilling expertise, making it the cradle of some of the world's most renowned spirits.
To the north, in the Charente and Charente-Maritime regions, we produce the famous Cognac, made from the double distillation of white wines, and Pineau des Charentes, a liqueur wine combining grape must and young Cognac, appreciated for its freshness and roundness.
Further south, in the Gers, Landes and Lot-et-Garonne regions, we produce Armagnac, France's oldest brandy. Traditionally distilled in continuous stills, it is produced in three zones: Haut-Armagnac, Ténarèze and Bas-Armagnac. These three terroirs lie on the alluvial cone of Lannemezan, an ancient soil of sand, clay and pebbles eroded from the Pyrenees. They give rise to expressive, elegant and nuanced eaux-de-vie, with aromas of ripe fruit, sweet spices and dried fruit, revealed through barrel ageing.
