To brew top-class cognac, you must first have the best grape raw materials. Ugni Blanc grape produced by Hennessy Vineyard has elegant fruit aroma, which is especially suitable for Hennessy's double distillation process in large copper distiller.
In order to ensure that the aroma of cognac reaches the highest and diversified level, Hennessy only uses the water of life carefully selected from four top producing areas (big champagne area, small champagne area, marginal area and high-quality forest area). Fortunately, the water of life will one day become an outstanding Hennessy cognac.
Precautions:
You should know that Hennessy VSOP is not the most advanced series of Hennessy, and VSOP is the abbreviation of VerySuperiorOldPale. In cognac regulations, VSOP means that the youngest base wine is aged in oak barrels for 4 years.
There are four series above VSOP, namely XO, Baileting, Bai Le Ting Huang Xi and Hennessy Richard. Among them, Hennessy Richard is a true connoisseur version, which was brewed by winemaker Yan Fairworth at 1996.
It should be noted that the name of the wine is named after the founder of Hennessy, and it is aged with the precious base wine spectrum of 40 to nearly 200 years. The bottle is made of crystal, hand-blown and marked with an independent number, so it is also the most advanced series in Hennessy series.
