✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Limited Gold Edition VS brings a dazzling, celebratory aesthetic to the house's signature Very Special Cognac. Rooted in the historic Charente region of France, this expression is crafted from a meticulous blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced across the Cognac appellation's diverse terroirs. These spirits are aged in young French Limousin oak casks, imparting a robust wood character, lively toasted notes, and a vibrant fruitiness. The VS style traces its lineage back to 1865, when Maurice Hennessy created the star-based classification system. This limited gold bottling honors that rich legacy with a modern, luxurious presentation, delivering a palate defined by fresh toasted almonds, brown sugar, and a delicate hint of vine blossom.
🍾 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.
