The Story
Since 1810, Maison Cognac Lhéraud has perpetuated a tradition of excellence in the art of vintage cognac in Angeac. Established in the heart of the Charentais terroir, it crafts uncompromising eaux-de-vie (spirits), distilled in a Charentais still and naturally aged in its blonde stone cellars. This 1983 vintage, sourced from the prestigious Grande Champagne cru, is an ode to time and precision: a distinguished cognac of timeless elegance.
The Vinification
Distilled in 1983, this cognac has benefited from a long and natural aging in oak barrels, allowing for gentle micro-oxygenation. The chalky terroir of the Grande Champagne confers purity, finesse, and typicity on the spirits. The complex aromas of white flowers, musk, leather, dried fruits, and spiced butter, enhanced by a subtle hint of coffee, develop with depth and harmony, offering a refined and balanced tasting experience.
The Tasting
The deep amber color reveals an elegant bouquet of white flowers, musk, coffee, and dried fruits. On the palate, the silky texture and present tannins support a long, harmonious, and slightly spicy finish. This Grande Champagne Cognac 1983 expresses all the complexity and delicacy of a great vintage, ideal for tasting or for cellaring for connoisseurs of exceptional cognacs.

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 1983 that illustrates the finesse of the Grande Champagne. The nose is elegant, mingling white flowers, musk, and coffee. The palate is silky, with present tannins and a beautiful balance. Long, harmonious, and delicately spicy finish.
