✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) legacy dates back to 1817, when the future King George IV of Great Britain personally requested a unique pale cognac from the house. For the 2024 Chinese New Year, Hennessy celebrates the auspicious Year of the Dragon with a striking limited-edition release featuring artwork by visionary digital artist Yang Yongliang. This exceptional Cognac is crafted from a blend of up to sixty distinct eaux-de-vie, distilled predominantly from Ugni Blanc grapes grown across the premier crus of the Cognac region. Double-distilled in traditional copper alembic stills and matured in seasoned French oak casks, this blend offers a harmonious balance of strength and smoothness. The 2024 edition beautifully bridges centuries-old French blending heritage with the vibrant energy and symbolism of the lunar calendar.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 ved Charente-flodens bredder af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og har lige siden defineret den moderne cognacs prestige og identitet. Huset henter primært Ugni Blanc-druer fra regionens fremmeste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois. Her sikrer den kalkrige undergrund og det tempererede, maritime mikroklima grundvine med en markant, spændstig syre. Efter traditionel dobbeltdestillation på bærmen i klassiske Charentais-kobberkedler modner de unge eaux-de-vie på finkornede franske egetræsfade fra Tronçais og Limousin, fordelt mellem både fugtige og tørre lagringskældre. Den minutiøse blanding varetages i dag af Renaud Fillioux de Gironde og husets velrenommerede smagekomité som ottende generation i Fillioux-dynastiet. Lige fra referenceaftapninger som V.S.O.P Privilège og X.O til mesterlige prestigeblend som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy inkarnerer huset en enestående renhed, struktur og århundreders uovertrufne blendingekspertise.
