✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy Fine de Cognac, often simply known as Hennessy Fine, was introduced in 2002 as a modern and innovative expression from the legendary house of Hennessy. Designed to be lighter, more vibrant, and highly versatile, it is crafted from a selection of young, expressive eaux-de-vie primarily sourced from the Fins Bois and Borderies crus, along with components from Grande and Petite Champagne. Unlike the heavier, deeply oaked traditional VSOP or XO expressions, Fine de Cognac is aged in seasoned French oak casks that have already lost some of their aggressive tannins, preserving the delicate floral and fresh fruit notes of the Ugni Blanc grape. This results in a harmonious blend featuring notes of citrus peel, honey, nougat, and light brioche, representing a bridge between traditional cognac craftsmanship and contemporary mixology culture.
🍾 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.
