Lheraud

From 1860 to today, the family has forged a unique identity, rooted in a special land where passion and discretion are the watchwords. Alexandre Lhéraud, who settled in the Petite Champagne region to serve the local chatelain, or castle keeper, was the first to plant vines in his garden. Victor, Jean, Pierre, Eugène, Rémy and Guy followed in his footsteps. These men of fine temperament and constant work ethic expanded the estate and refined their method, passing on the memory of the land and the care of the product. This is what gives Lhéraud cognac its singular style, which uses the past to shine in the present.

The Lhéraud estate is located among the vineyards that dot the hillsides on the banks of the Charente River and comprises 85 hectares of ugni blanc, colombard and folle blanche vines spread over six cognac crus, mainly in Petite Champagne. This austere and chalky land, with distinct seasons, gives the cognac a wonderful minerality and length on the palate.

In Petite Champagne, we cultivate roundness and the scent of violets. In Grande Champagne, a mysterious quality gradually emerges. In the Fin Bois, sandy soils lend freshness and fragrance. Lhéraud cognacs embody this diversity.
