The Lheraud Vintage 1969 Petite Champagne Cognac is one of a range of old vintages produced by this traditional house. No prizes for guessing that this comes from the harvest of 1969, and that the eaux-de-vie contained within was grown in the Petite Champagne terroir of the region.
Age specific offerings are still somewhat of a rarity in the world of Cognac. This, along with the fact of its delightful taste, makes it a real asset to any drinks cabinet. And it would be gratefully received as a gift by any Cognac connoiseur. As with all of the houses' range of vintage Cognacs, it's presented in a dark colored bottle - a fact that only adds to the mystery and temptation of the liquid nestled within. Overproof at 48°, it's powerful enough to enjoy in a number of ways: Neat, on the rocks, or even with a few drops of water to enjoy a subtle different in the taste sensation. Whichever way you choose, take your time. Your taste buds will thank you.
A fantastic nose and great taste in the mouth.. the finish is a bit less harmonic I would say. But still a very, very nice millésime cognac. I also like the bottle and how it is presented.
The family Lheraud have been involved in winemaking and cognac production for hundreds of years, but it was only in 1970 that exportation and promotion really began in earnest. Now producing not only cognac, but Pineau des Charentes and Armagnac as well, Lheraud exports its wares worldwide – and continues to expand into more countries on a yearly basis. Today’s owners – Andrée and Guy Lheraud – concentrate on producing Cognac Lheraud strictly on a traditional basis, and continue to work tirelessly to introduce their products to more countries and communities throughout the world.
