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 situated on a chalky limestone hilltop at 154 meters of altitude in Claix, at the heart of the Fins Bois cru. The terroir combines 50% hard limestone from the Jurassic era and 50% soft limestone from the Cretaceous, giving finesse and aromatic precision to the eaux-de-vie. 100% Ugni Blanc, with an average vine age of 43 years.
Winemaking
Fermentation is carried out on site, with both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in thermoregulated stainless-steel tanks, using carefully selected local yeasts. Double distillation is performed on the lees in small, traditional 25-hectoliter Charentais copper stills with onion-shaped lids. Ageing begins in new French oak barrels for 4 to 6 months before continuing for several years in 400-liter Limousin oak casks, allowing the eaux-de-vie to reach expressive harmony.
Tasting notes
VSOP Reserve reveals a golden yellow color. The bouquet combines white-fleshed fruits with floral aromas and subtle spices. On the palate, it is supple and harmonious, with sweet flavors balanced by notes of wood. The finish highlights new oak and spice, offering length and elegance. 40% Vol.
Food pairing
This VSOP is best enjoyed neat or over ice, and pairs beautifully with foie gras, preserved white meats, or soft cheeses with floral rinds such as mature Cheddar.
