Lheraud Cuvee 10 Cognac

Since 1680, generations of the Lhraud family have lived in the same 10th-century house in the small village of Lasdoux in the heart of the Petite Champagne region. The familys first cognac was made in 1802 a few bottles of this rare and precious cognac are still kept in the Lhrauds private cellar they call Paradis. Since that first bottling so many years ago, the Lhraud family has passed down the traditions and knowledge that it takes to produce their exceptional cognacs and armagnacs.When Andre and Guy Lhraud inherited the domaine in the 1960s, they experienced some difficult times, and yet they never gave up. There was a force in us. We had the land and so we knew Andre lets the sentence complete itself. At that time, she was already handwriting the labels and applying them using a special flour-and-water glue.In 1970, Guy decided to stop selling the familys cognac to outside producers, and started marketing it under Cognac Lhraud. Today, all Lhraud cognacs and armagnacs are made from grapes from their own vineyards, with all of the winemaking, distillation, aging, bottling and labels done by the Lhraud family.Listening to Guy Lhraud means being captivated by the warmth that exists in his family; the subject is never I but we. Work and success are shared in equal measures. We make a good trio. We cant do anything without each other. Without my wife and her packaging, my son and his blends, the company would not be where it is today, says the patriarch. But, he adds with a coy smile, Where would Laurents fine cognacs and my wifes wonderful packaging be if the salesman didnt do a good job?Equally dedicated to the familys heritage, Laurent Lhraud studied oenology, working with his parents from an early age. We worked hard, but it wasnt a sacrifice. I never considered doing anything else. He now manages the domaine (Domaine de Lasdoux), from vineyard to distillation, following the traditions that have been handed down in the family from generation to generation.
