✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hennessy Tribute to Picasso is an extraordinary, highly limited release that bridges the worlds of fine art and master distillation. Created to honor the legacy of Pablo Picasso, this ultra-rare Cognac is composed of exceptionally old eaux-de-vie drawn from the deepest recesses of Hennessy's historic Founder's Cellar, the Chai Paradis. The blend is crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes cultivated in the chalky soils of Cognac's most prestigious crus, particularly Grande Champagne. Following traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, these precious spirits were aged for decades in Limousin forest oak casks. The result is a liquid masterpiece of profound complexity, displaying a deep amber hue, a rich 'rancio' character, and layered aromas of dried apricots, old leather, sweet spices, and cocoa, reflecting the creative genius of both the artist and the Fillioux family of master blenders.
🍾 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.
