PISCO LOGÍA
Crafted by hand on a small copper pot still from estate grapes cultivated and harvested in the rich alluvial soils
of the Mala Valley, nestled in the arid mountains above the Pacific, south of Lima. The desert-grown grapes,
sparingly irrigated with snowmelt from the Andes, exhibit a dry-climate intensity that comes through
beautifully in distillation. Peruvian Pisco is regarded as a national heirloom, and by regulation it must conform

MAISON SURRENNE COGNAC
Maison Surrenne is a collaboration between Germain-Robin and Cognac’s largest remaining family-owned producer.
Surrenne’s eight aging cellars hold extensive stocks of aged distillates that have been maintained pure and unblended.
There are four distilleries, including the ancient installation in the chateau of Triac. The home distillery is on the Quai de
l’Ile Madame on the banks of the Charente river in Jarnac. Great cognac reflects the land and climate from which its
grapes were taken. The bottlings come from specific regions, and we further emphasize their individuality by using
cognacs from a particular vintage, or a single distillery, or even an individual cask. Many of these bottlings are unblended,
and the rareties are unfiltered.

LHÉRAUD COGNAC
Since 1680, generations of the Lhéraud family have lived in the same 10th-century house in the small village of Lasdoux
in the heart of Petite Champagne. The family’s first cognac was made in 1802 — a few bottles of this rare and precious
cognac are still kept in the Lhérauds’ private cellar they call ‘Paradis’. Lhéraud’s cognacs are made in a traditional
alembic copper-pot still. Distillation begins in December, after the second fermentation, and is done by hand, without
electronic controls or devices. The choices made during distillation — gentle or strong heating, where to make “la coupe,”
or “the cut,” separating the first and last distillate from “le coeur,” or “the heart” — all greatly affect the eau de vie.
Cognac Lhéraud’s vines are planted to Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard; the last two varieties were grown more
prevalently in the past, but became susceptible to different vine diseases and, over time, were replaced by Ugni Blanc.
Today, Cognac Lhéraud is one of the few distilleries that produces cognacs using a blend of all three varieties.
