history
Nestled on 102 hectares of sunny limestone hills in the heart of the Fins Bois cru, Leyrat Cognac embodies the pure expression of its terroir. Produced exclusively from a single estate, each eau-de-vie is crafted with meticulous care, offering finesse, balance, and aromatic depth. Part of the Abécassis family estates – one of the leading independent producers in Cognac – Leyrat is internationally recognized, with numerous awards including Cognac Producer of the Year (IWSC, London). Featured on the menus of Michelin-starred restaurants, Leyrat has become a true reference for connoisseurs seeking authenticity and refinement.
Vineyard
The estate is located on a chalky limestone hilltop at 154 meters of altitude, in Claix, within the Fins Bois cru. The soils are composed of equal parts Jurassic hard limestone and Cretaceous soft limestone. The vineyard is planted with 100% Ugni Blanc, with an average vine age of 43 years, ensuring consistent quality and aromatic finesse.
Winemaking
Fermentation is carried out on site, with both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations taking place in thermoregulated stainless-steel tanks using local yeasts. Double distillation occurs in small, traditional 25-hectoliter Charentais copper stills. The eaux-de-vie are aged first in new French oak barrels for 4 to 6 months, then in red and old Limousin oak barrels for many years, allowing them to reach extraordinary aromatic richness. The final blend is composed of an exclusive selection of very old eaux-de-vie from the Paradise cellar, including rare centuries-old casks.
Tasting notes
Leyrat Passion displays a deep amber color with mahogany reflections and golden highlights. The nose is intense and elegant, with floral notes of violet, alongside candied fruit, orange peel, and delicate touches of licorice, sandalwood, sweet spices, and nutmeg. The palate is balanced and silky, with layers of candied fruit and a subtle woody and spicy finish. Fresh notes of blackcurrant and apple add liveliness to the long, refined finale.
Food pairing
Best enjoyed neat to reveal its full depth, Leyrat Passion is a Cognac for exceptional occasions and pairs beautifully with refined desserts, dark chocolate, or to be savored as a meditative digestif. 42%Vol.
