Cognac Lhéraud // Petite Champagne, France
Guy Lhéraud doesn't necessarily have a problem with cognacs "made by a computer", as he describes electronically-controlled distillation equipment; it's just not the ways he wants to do things. All Lhéraud Cognacs are distilled by hand in a direct-fire still, and bottled without any additives other than water.
This VSOP expression is aged for five years, the first two in new casks of Limousin oak. .

Tasting Notes
"Dried orange peel and mulling spices introduce this pungent, tangy cognac. The progression of flavors is quite interesting, from true cinnamon, to dried pear and fig, with a little vanilla, carob, and coffee bean rounding out the finish. The mouthfeel is a little tight and astringent, though."
