✨ 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
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, Maison Hennessy is the world's leading Cognac house, nestled along the banks of the Charente River in Cognac, France. The house's enduring excellence is rooted in centuries of savoir-faire and a historic multi-generational collaboration with the Fillioux family of Master Blenders. Utilizing meticulously selected Ugni Blanc grapes from Cognac's finest crus—including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—Hennessy double-distills in traditional copper pot stills before patient maturation in fine-grained French oak casks. Renowned for setting international benchmarks, its iconic range spans the elegant VSOP Privilège and the original X.O—pioneered in 1870—to exceptional prestige assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy.
