Hine Rare VSOP Cognac
Cognac Fine Champagne: The Finest Blend of Grande and Petite Champagne Grapes
Discover the exceptional Hine Rare VSOP, a blend of Fine Champagne cognacs from the renowned Grande and Petite Champagne regions. This premium spirit exemplifies the essence of the House of Hine, offering a unique and refined experience for connoisseurs.
The Terroir: Exclusively Grande & Petite Champagne
Hine Rare VSOP is crafted solely from grapes grown in the Grande and Petite Champagne regions. These areas are celebrated for their superior quality grapes, which contribute to the cognac’s distinctive character. The terroir’s rich, chalky soil imparts a delicate minerality, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the cognac.
The Distillation: Double Distilled with the Lees
To achieve its remarkable smoothness and aromatic richness, Hine Rare undergoes a meticulous double distillation process. The inclusion of the lees, or residual yeast, during distillation enhances the complexity and depth of the flavors. This traditional method results in a cognac that is both elegant and full-bodied.
The Ageing: Fine-Grained Oak for Subtle Complexity
Hine VSOP is aged in lightly toasted, fine-grained oak barrels. This careful selection of oak allows the fruity notes of the cognac to shine, rather than being overpowered by woody flavors. The ageing process imparts a subtle complexity, with hints of vanilla and spice, complementing the fruitiness of the spirit.
A Symphony of Fruity, Suave, and Delicate Notes
Hine Rare VSOP captivates the senses with its delicate balance of fruit and softness. Notes of apricot, nectarine, and melon create a harmonious blend that is both refreshing and refined. This exquisite combination of flavors makes Hine Rare a standout choice for any occasion.
