✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy XO Julien Colombier Limited Edition brings together the historic blending mastery of the world's most famous Cognac house with the vibrant, dreamlike artistic vision of French artist Julien Colombier. Released as a festive collaboration, the packaging features Colombier's signature lush, tropical forest motifs, which pay artistic homage to the natural world that births this exceptional spirit. Inside, the liquid remains the legendary Hennessy XO, an extra-old blend first created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy. Composed of over 100 distinct eaux-de-vie primarily crafted from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the premier crus of Cognac, including Grande Champagne and Borderies, it is aged for up to several decades in Limousin oak casks. This meticulous process imparts deep, complex layers of candied fruit, wild cocoa, warm baking spices, and a robust, woody structure that has defined the XO category for over a 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.
