✨ Tekniske specifikationer
A vibrant bridge between centuries-old French tradition and contemporary global culture, the Hennessy VSOP 'Team Wang' Limited Edition is a striking collaboration with the design house founded by artist Jackson Wang. While the exterior features a sleek, modern aesthetic, the liquid inside remains the legendary Hennessy VSOP Privilège. Crafted from a blend of up to 60 different eaux-de-vie made primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced across the premier crus of the Cognac region, this spirit is double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills. It is then aged in French Limousin oak casks, where it develops its signature harmony of strength and smoothness. The result is a beautifully balanced Cognac featuring expressive aromas of fresh fruit, vanilla, and mild tobacco, underpinned by a delicate toasted oak character that honors Hennessy's blending legacy dating back to 1817, when the future King George IV of the United Kingdom requested a 'Very Superior Old Pale' cognac.
🍾 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.
