Bas Armagnac Gaston Legrand Lheraud 1988

Maison Baron Gaston Legrand belongs to the Lhéraud family, which works wonders for Armagnac and Cognac. The history of Maison Lhéraud revolves around the family’s passion for cognac. Generations have succeeded each other with the desire to make the best eaux-de-vie possible. In Angeac, in Charente, they always worked in the family. The first distillation was performed by Eugene. Then Rémy follows suit. Then, by inheriting the estate some fifty years ago, Andrée and Guy Lhéraud faced difficult times. The world around them is changing, as are their values. For ten years, while running their farm, they will sell their brandy away from home before being held at fairs in France and abroad. “Because of this, it all started again,” recalls Guy, who in 1970 decided to market Cognac under his own brand: Cognac Guy Lhéraud. over two hundred days a year. Whatever the generation, everyone in Lhéraud looks to the future. This is also Lhéraud, a unique blend of tradition and modernity.
