✨ 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 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.
