Lhéraud
Lhéraud is a very exclusive French cognac house with almost 200 years of history, whose passion for distillation began as early as 1785 with viniculture. A supplier to the English Royal Family and the Princely House of Monaco, it is committed to the highest quality and today grows the finest grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard on 90 hectares of estate vineyards located in the heart of the Cognac region in Petite Champagne. Unlike most other eaux-de-vie in the world, cognac is made by double distilling an acidic white wine. A good cognac must start with a good wine, like the one from the Lhéraud family vineyards. Lhéraud cognacs are produced in a traditional alambic. Distillation begins in December after the second fermentation and is done by hand, without electronic controls or equipment. The choices made during distillation - gentle or strong heating, the moment to cut, the separation of the first and last distillates from the heart cut - have a major impact on the eaux-de-vie. All cognacs are carefully produced according to tradition and bottled without any additives. Lhéraud distils with elegance - a family expertise passed on with love, wisdom and respect. The company is one of the best addresses for excellent cognacs.
