The Story
Since 1810, Maison Lhéraud has embodied the art of vintage cognac with rare demanding standards. Located in Angeac, between Grande and Petite Champagne, it crafts spirits faithful to their terroir, distilled in a Charentais still and aged slowly in Limousin oak barrels. This 1990 vintage, sourced exclusively from the Petite Champagne cru, illustrates the Lhéraud style in all its nobility: balance, finesse, and depth.
The Vinification
This cognac has aged slowly in Limousin oak barrels, allowing for ideal micro-oxygenation and the harmonious development of aromas. Notes of dried fruits, nuts, prune, leather, candied orange zest, wood, vanilla, and chocolate unite to offer an ample, silky, and warm texture. The Petite Champagne brings finesse and complexity, guarantees of longevity and aromatic typicity.
The Tasting
Amber in color, the Lhéraud Petite Champagne Cognac 1990 seduces with its elegant power and refined balance. The long, subtly spiced finish reveals remarkable refinement and freshness for its age. Ideal for tasting or for keeping as a cellar treasure.

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.
Katja - Local Nose
This 1990 offers elegant power and a very rich fruity profile. The nose evokes dried fruits, prune, and leather. On the palate, it is ample/full and silky, with a beautiful balance. Long, warm, and subtly spiced finish.
