✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy VS Limited Edition by Futura represents a striking intersection of historic French craftsmanship and pioneering American street art. Released as a celebrated collaboration with the legendary Brooklyn-born graffiti artist Futura (Lenny McGurr), this bottling wraps Hennessy's signature Very Special Cognac in a vibrant, abstract design featuring his iconic helixes and energetic color pathways. Inside the bottle is the classic Hennessy VS blend, meticulously composed of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie sourced from the Cognac region's diverse crus, primarily utilizing the Ugni Blanc grape. These eaux-de-vie are aged in young French Limousin oak casks, which impart robust toasted oak, grilled almond, and warm vanilla notes. This collaboration beautifully bridges the gap between the centuries-old blending heritage of the Fillioux family and the avant-garde energy of modern urban 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.
