✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Fine Champagne VSOP 1980s Release is a captivating liquid time capsule representing the mastery of Cognac blending from a bygone era. Under the rules of the 'Fine Champagne' designation, this spirit is crafted exclusively from a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced from the two finest crus of the region: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, with Grande Champagne making up at least 50% of the blend. Distilled primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes using traditional copper Charentais alembic stills, the eaux-de-vie were aged in French Limousin oak casks before being blended by the Fillioux family of master blenders. This specific 1980s bottling showcases a beautifully integrated profile of dried apricots, warm baking spices, leather, and soft rancio, offering a rare glimpse into the historic house style of the late 20th century.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og er i dag verdens førende cognachus med beliggenhed ved bredden af Charente-floden i Cognac. Husets uforlignelige kvalitet bygger på århundreders savoir-faire og et historisk, traditionsrigt samarbejde gennem flere generationer med Fillioux-familiens Master Blenders. Hennessy udvælger nøje Ugni Blanc-druer fra Cognacs fineste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois – som dobbeltdestilleres i traditionelle kobberkedler og efterfølgende modnes tålmodigt på fintporede franske egetræsfade. Huset er berømt for at sætte internationale standarder, og det ikoniske sortiment spænder fra den elegante VSOP Privilège og den oprindelige X.O, skabt i 1870, til enestående prestigeblandinger som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy.
