Lheraud XO Charles VII Cognac is a beautiful multi-cru blend highlighted by its striking decanter, which exposes its rich color. Aged for 40 years, this quality blend offers extremely good value for money for such an old cognac. And, of course, there's the delicious taste of rancio that only appears after a truly long aging process.
A delight to all the senses: from the color that dances in front of the eyes, to the aromas and the palate, this is a cognac that takes the taster on a journey from beginning to end. Although many have yet to hear of the house of Lheraud Cognac, the expertise of the blenders dates back hundreds of years and has been passed down to family members through generations. One to savour - and a cognac that will appeal to any connoiseur.
Lheraud 40YR XO Charles VII was from a previous Advent Calendar, and produced from 100% Petite Champagne. Lovely dark fruits greet the nose initially. As it opens, I get some subtle nut in the mix, but this is all about the fruit, and it is quite inviting! This is full-bodied and mouth-coating,...

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.
