✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Commissioned to commemorate the historic Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, this exceptionally rare Hennessy release represents the pinnacle of the house's blending artistry. Crafted from a selection of the finest, mature eaux-de-vie resting in the founder's cellars, this Cognac is a liquid testament to Anglo-French relations and royal celebration. The blend relies on Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from the premier crus of the Cognac region, double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais stills. Aged for decades in Limousin oak casks, it developed an incredibly complex profile of dried fruits, warm spices, and old rancio, curated by the legendary Fillioux family of master blenders. This bottling is both a collector's masterpiece and a sensory journey back to the mid-20th century.
🍾 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.
