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 lies on a chalky limestone hilltop at 154 meters of altitude, in Claix, within the Fins Bois cru. The soils are composed of 50% hard limestone from the Jurassic era and 50% soft limestone from the Cretaceous, giving the grapes freshness and structure.
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place on site, with alcoholic and malolactic fermentations conducted in thermoregulated stainless-steel tanks. The Pineau is the result of a delicate blending of freshly pressed grape must with young Cognac eaux-de-vie from the estate. Ageing lasts at least 18 months in 400-liter French oak barrels from Limousin, ensuring balance and aromatic depth.
Tasting notes
Pineau Pierres Blanches shows a brilliant golden-yellow color. The nose is dominated by ripe fruit, with fig, fresh peach, pear, and quince, enhanced by subtle woody notes and a hint of citrus. On the palate, it is round and supple, with rich fruit flavors balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a lively and elegant finish. 17% Vol.
Food pairing
Perfect enjoyed on its own, served chilled or over ice, it also pairs beautifully with foie gras, goat cheese, blue cheese, or refined desserts.
