✨ Tekniske specifikationer
A monumental tribute to the founder of the maison, the Richard Hennessy Daniel Libeskind Decanter represents the pinnacle of Cognac craftsmanship, marrying centuries of liquid history with avant-garde architectural design. This ultra-prestige blend is crafted from some of the rarest and oldest eaux-de-vie in Hennessy's founder's cellar, with some components aging for up to two centuries. Made primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested from the region's finest crus, notably Grande Champagne, the spirit undergoes traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills before its incredibly long slumber in French Limousin oak casks. The legendary master blenders of the Fillioux family have curated this blend to offer unparalleled complexity, exhibiting notes of delicate spices, preserved fruits, leather, and undergrowth. To house this liquid masterpiece, visionary architect Daniel Libeskind designed a striking, geometric Baccarat crystal decanter that juxtaposes the soft, organic curves of classic Cognac heritage with sharp, crystalline modern angles, creating a stunning dialogue between past and future.
🍾 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.
