✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Privilège VSOP Guangyu Zhang Limited Edition represents a masterful bridge between French liquid heritage and contemporary Chinese artistry. Commissioned to celebrate the Lunar New Year, this special bottling features the vibrant, multi-layered artwork of Beijing artist Guangyu Zhang, who honors the cycle of nature and the harmony of the elements. Inside the artistic bottle lies the classic Hennessy VSOP Privilège blend, a historic recipe first inspired by an 1817 order from the future King George IV of Great Britain for a 'Very Superior Old Pale' cognac. Crafted from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the premier crus of the Cognac region, the constituent eaux-de-vie are double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais stills and matured in seasoned French oak casks, allowing the spirit to develop its signature balance of strength and smoothness, marked by notes of fresh fruit, vanilla, mild tobacco, and toasted wood.
🍾 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.
