✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy VSOP Privilege has a royal lineage, tracing its origins back to 1817 when the future King George IV of Great Britain personally requested a 'Very Superior Old Pale' cognac from the house of Hennessy. The Privilege Collection 4 represents a celebrated limited-edition presentation of this iconic blend. Crafted from a selection of approximately 60 different eaux-de-vie distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes, the spirit is sourced from the finest crus of the Cognac appellation, including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois. These components are aged in seasoned French Limousin oak casks, allowing the wood's tannins to gently integrate with the vibrant fruit. The result is a legendary blend defined by its harmonious balance of strength and smoothness, revealing aromas of fresh fruit, vanilla, clove, and toasted oak.
🍾 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.
