Lhéraud – Authenticity and heritage in vintage cognac

A family estate rooted since the 17th century

Located in Angeac, in the Petite Champagne cru, the Lhéraud family has passed down viticultural and distillation traditions since 1680. Today, the family-run house continues to produce Cognacs with dedication and integrity. Every bottle reflects centuries of savoir-faire, aged in the estate’s own historic cellars.

Single-vintage Cognacs without blending

Lhéraud specializes in rare vintage Cognacs, a true rarity in the region. Unlike typical blends, each vintage is aged continuously from a single harvest year. This method allows the pure expression of both time and terroir. Every step is controlled by the family, from vine to bottle, with no additives or coloring.

Traditional distillation on the lees

The wines are distilled on their lees using small copper Charentais stills. This technique, though more demanding, yields richer, more aromatic eaux-de-vie. Aging takes place in oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais forests, chosen for their finesse and ability to shape the spirit without overpowering it.

A collection of rare and expressive Cognacs

The Lhéraud range includes VSOP and XO expressions, as well as extremely rare vintage bottlings from the 20th century, aged under ideal conditions. Each bottle is individually numbered and presented with care, highlighting its singular character. The house style favors elegance, clarity, and natural complexity.

An artisanal house with global recognition

Highly regarded among connoisseurs, Lhéraud is available in select markets around the world, while maintaining a confidential, artisanal scale of production. The house offers a sincere and demanding vision of Cognac, built on vintage integrity, patience, and terroir. A must-know for those who value character and authenticity.
