✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hine Grande Champagne Family Reserve is an extraordinary, ultra-premium Cognac with a rich history dating back to 1936, when it was first blended by François Hine for the exclusive enjoyment of his family and esteemed guests. Sourced entirely from the chalky, sun-drenched hillsides of the Grande Champagne premier cru, this rare blend comprises exceptionally old eaux-de-vie, some of which have matured for over half a century in French oak casks. The long, slow interaction with the oak in Hine's historic cellars along the Charente River coaxes out incredibly complex aromas of dried fruits, old leather, spices, and the coveted 'rancio' character. It stands as a testament to the blending mastery and legacy of the Hine family.
🍾 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.
