✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Created to celebrate Hennessy's landmark 240th anniversary in 2005, La Coupe Speciale is a monumental tribute to nearly two and a half centuries of blending mastery. This ultra-rare, limited-edition Cognac was crafted by seventh-generation Master Blender Yann Fillioux, who selected some of the most exceptional, historic eaux-de-vie resting in the legendary Founder's Cellar (Chai Fondateur). Originating primarily from the premier crus of Grande and Petite Champagne, these precious spirits were distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembics and matured for decades in Limousin oak casks. The result is a liquid masterpiece of extraordinary complexity, offering rich aromas of dried fruits, leather, and subtle spices, presented in a stunning Baccarat crystal decanter designed by Thomas Bastide. It stands as a liquid archive of Hennessy's unparalleled heritage.
🍾 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.
