✨ Technical Specifications
H by Hine VSOP is a vibrant, contemporary expression from the historic house of Hine, designed to be both an exceptional neat sipper and a versatile base for premium cocktails. Classified as a Fine Champagne Cognac, it is crafted from a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the chalky, limestone-rich soils of the Grande and Petite Champagne districts, with at least 50% coming from Grande Champagne. The house of Hine, established in Jarnac in the 18th century by Englishman Thomas Hine, is celebrated for its elegant, floral style. This VSOP is aged in French oak barrels in Hine's ancient cellars along the Charente River, where the natural humidity tempers the spirit, coaxing out expressive notes of white flowers, fresh apricot, and yellow fruits, underpinned by a delicate touch of wood spice.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1763 and later named in 1817 by Englishman Thomas Hine, Maison Hine is an esteemed Cognac house situated along the banks of the Charente River in Jarnac, France. Holding a distinguished Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth II since 1962, the house is celebrated for its artisanal philosophy and dedicated focus on the premier terroirs of Grande and Petite Champagne. Hine is uniquely renowned for its mastery of single-vintage cognacs, including both classic Jarnac-aged releases and rare Early Landed casks matured in the damp, cool cellars of the United Kingdom. Emphasizing elegance, delicate floral aromatics, and minimal oak influence, the maison produces legendary expressions such as Antique XO Premier Cru, Triomphe, and single-harvest Bonneuil vintages.
