✨ Technical Specifications
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.
