DESCRIPTION
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 1993 vintage, sourced exclusively from the Petite Champagne cru, illustrates the Lhéraud style in all its nobility: balance, finesse, and depth.
The Vinification
Aged in Limousin oak barrels, this cognac benefits from optimal micro-oxygenation which enriches the aromatic palette. Aromas of candied fruits, vanilla, nuts, honey, chocolate, and wood blend with spicy notes to offer a creamy, velvety, and structured texture. The Petite Champagne brings finesse, length, and harmony on the palate.
The Tasting
Amber in color, the Lhéraud Petite Champagne Cognac 1993 is distinguished by its elegant power and refined complexity. The long and warm finish, punctuated by fine tannins and a subtle spice, reveals a perfect balance and a finesse typical of great vintages. Ideal for savoring or for keeping in a collector's cellar.
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.
