✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This striking limited edition of Hennessy's iconic VSOP Privilège represents a unique intersection of heritage blending and cutting-edge digital art. Created in collaboration with Turkish-American media artist Refik Anadol, the bottle's design was inspired by 3D data mapping of the master blenders' sensory experiences during tasting. Inside, the liquid remains the classic, world-renowned VSOP Privilège, crafted from a blend of approximately 60 different eaux-de-vie sourced from the Cognac region's premier crus. Primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes, these components are double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and aged in French oak casks. The resulting spirit is a masterclass in balance, offering harmonious notes of fresh fruit, vanilla, mild tobacco, 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.
