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 1988 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 1988, this cognac has rested for many years in oak barrels, allowing for gradual micro-oxygenation. The chalky terroir of the Grande Champagne confers purity and typicity, while the aging in wood develops an aromatic complexity where white flowers, musk, and leather notes harmonize with stewed mango, passion fruit, coconut, and ginger.
The Tasting
Its amber color reveals a seductive and exotic bouquet. On the palate, the silky texture and balanced tannins support a long and harmonious finish. The 1988 vintage combines freshness, finesse, and complexity, offering a rare and refined tasting experience, faithful to the unique style of the Grande Champagne.

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
This 1988 combines freshness and complexity! The bouquet is seductive and exotic (mango, coconut), with notes of musk and white flowers. The palate is silky, very well balanced by fine tannins. Long and refined finish.
