Leyrat Cognac is produced at the Domaine de Chez Maillard estate, situated in the Fins Bois region of Cognac, France. Known for its complex and elegant expressions, Leyrat Cognacs are made using traditional methods that include handpicking grapes, organic cultivation without chemicals, and distillation in small copper stills. This brand is celebrated for its natural and clean eaux-de-vie, which have garnered international recognition and awards. The range includes various ages and blends, such as the Leyrat Fine VS, VSOP Reserve, and the XO Elite, each offering a unique profile from fresh and floral to rich and complex.
Leyrat Fine VS Cognac delights with its elegant and refined sensory profile. The nose opens with a charming bouquet of plums and pears, which soon mingles with a subtle undercurrent of oak and a hint of floral notes, creating an inviting aroma. On the palate, this Cognac showcases a crisp freshness accompanied by a gentle hint of caramel, progressing into richer notes of cocoa and toffee, all while maintaining a light and silky texture. The finish is smooth and sophisticated, marked by the subtle complexities imparted by its aging in high-quality Limousin oak barrels. This blend of flavours makes Leyrat Fine VS an exceptional young Cognac, showcasing the typical finesse of the Fins Bois region.
