An extraordinary liquid monument to love and legacy, Mariage de Thomas Hine was introduced to commemorate the historic 1797 union between the young Englishman Thomas Hine and Franoise Elisabeth Delamain, a marriage that forever anchored the Hine name in the soils of Jarnac. This ultra-prestige Cognac is an exquisite assemblage of twelve different vintage Grande Champagne cognacs, spanning the years 1921 to 1959. Each component was selected for its exceptional complexity and elegance, representing the absolute pinnacle of the premier cru's chalky terroir. Presented in a magnificent Baccarat crystal decanter, this rare spirit offers an incredibly complex sensory journey marked by notes of dried fruits, hazelnut, old leather, and the elusive, highly prized rancio charentais that only decades of patient oak aging can bestow.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in Jarnac in 1763 and renamed Thomas Hine & Co. in 1817, Hine is one of the oldest and most prestigious houses in Cognac, France, celebrated for its exquisite, terroir-driven spirits. Situated along the banks of the Charente River at 16 Quai de l'Orangerie, 16200 Jarnac, the house is globally renowned for its exceptional single-vintage Cognacs, sourced predominantly from the premier crus of Grande and Petite Champagne. Hine's signature production philosophy includes the rare tradition of 'Early Landed' vintages, which are shipped to the United Kingdom to age in the damp, cool cellars of Bristol, resulting in remarkably delicate and floral profiles. Today, Hine continues to craft legendary expressions such as the Antique Premier Cru XO, Triomphe, and the single-estate Domaines Hine Bonneuil, maintaining an uncompromising standard of elegance that has earned them a Royal Warrant from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
