The Lhéraud XO Charles VII Cognac is an elegant multi-cru blend, accentuated by the eye-catching decanter that reveals the rich colour of the sumptuous brandy. The Charles VII Cognac is a rarity - a top brandy of which only very few bottles exist. The 40-year-old cognac was distilled in the charcoal-heated Alambic Charentais. Reminiscent of exotic and faraway places, the Charentais is still considered the most beautiful and charming of all stills. It originated in the French region of Cognac in the early 16th century, when the acidic white wines of the Charente were first distilled into brandy. At that time, ships from the countries bordering the North and Baltic Seas entered the French port of La Rochelle to load salt. They also took some of the local wines on board. To save space on the ships and to increase the value of a small cargo, the wine volume was reduced by distillation in this distillery. Originally, the spirit was to be turned back into wine by adding water once it was back on land. But customers soon preferred the brandy from the Charente, the cognac, to the more acidic wines.
A pleasure for all the senses: from the dark golden colour reminiscent of amber that dances before the eyes, to the aromas and the delight on the palate, this is a cognac that takes the taster on a journey from start to finish. The overwhelming bouquet captivates the nose with a fascinating kaleidoscope of aromas. Floral notes, roasted nuts, caramel, coffee and vanilla notes skilfully alternate. The Lhéraud XO Charles VII Cognac is full-bodied and mouth-filling, but never overbearing. A sweet and juicy mid palate with stone fruit and honeyed apples, followed by caramel and coffee liqueur. The incredibly full-bodied structure continues into the very long finish. Its fine texture that appeals especially to connoisseurs and cigar smokers is also very convincing. Impressive when accompanied by a good cigar, it is also a real treat when paired with light or dark chocolate.

    Further details on the manufacturer

    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.
