✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Hine Rare VSOP is the quintessential expression of the house's elegant, floral style. Classified as a Fine Champagne Cognac, it is a masterfully curated blend of around twenty different eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the Grande and Petite Champagne districts, with at least 50% coming from Grande Champagne. These premier crus are defined by their porous, chalk-rich soils, which impart a signature mineral precision and longevity to the grapes. The history of the house is steeped in romance and resilience; Thomas Hine, a young Englishman from Dorset, arrived in France during the French Revolution, was briefly imprisoned as a spy, but eventually married Françoise-Elisabeth, whose family owned a cognac house in Jarnac. Under his leadership, the house gained fame for its uncompromising standards. Aged in fine-grained French oak casks, this VSOP showcases delicate aromas of yellow fruits, fresh jasmine, and subtle vanilla, reflecting the patience symbolized by the house's iconic stag logo.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Maison Hine blev grundlagt i 1763 og fik sit nuværende navn i 1817 af englænderen Thomas Hine. Dette traditionsrige cognachus ligger smukt ved bredden af Charente-floden i Jarnac i Frankrig. Huset har siden 1962 været kongelig hofleverandør til Dronning Elizabeth II og er berømmet for sin kompromisløse håndværksmæssige tilgang med et dedikeret fokus på de ypperste terroirs i Grande og Petite Champagne. Hine udmærker sig særligt ved sit enestående arbejde med enkeltårgangscognac – både de klassiske udgaver lagret i Jarnac og de sjældne Early Landed-fade, der modnes i Storbritanniens kølige, fugtige kældre. Med fokus på elegance, delikate blomsternoter og en diskret fadpåvirkning skaber huset legendariske aftapninger som Antique XO Premier Cru, Triomphe og Bonneuil-årgangene fra enkelte høstår.
