✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Diptyque Set is a masterclass in the art of blending, designed as a sensory dialogue between two contrasting expressions of Cognac. Conceived to showcase the dual nature of the house's legendary savoir-faire, this rare set pairs two distinct cuvées: one emphasizing the vibrant, floral, and fruit-forward elegance of younger eaux-de-vie, and the other highlighting the rich, structured, and spiced complexity derived from extended oak maturation. Crafted primarily from the Ugni Blanc grape grown in the chalky soils of the Cognac region, the eaux-de-vie undergo traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais stills before aging in Limousin oak casks. This limited release offers spirits connoisseurs an educational journey through the blending philosophy of the Fillioux family, who have guided Hennessy's cellar decisions for eight generations.
🍾 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.
