Hine Cognac Triomphe 1980

The Hine Triomphe Cognac is an exceptional blend, crafted to embody the elegance and refinement that define the Hine house. First created in 1888 to celebrate the resilience of winemakers in the face of the phylloxera crisis, this cognac is composed exclusively of eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, the premier cru of the Cognac region. Aged for several decades in small French oak casks, these eaux-de-vie develop remarkable depth and complexity.

Upon opening, Hine Triomphe captivates with its delicate nose, featuring woody notes of white cedar and vanilla, subtly enhanced by hints of blond tobacco and dried fruits. On the palate, the texture is exceptionally smooth, almost velvety, offering a rich and complex flavor profile. Nuances of dark chocolate, licorice, and gentle spices blend harmoniously with fruity undertones reminiscent of caramelized apples and stewed plums. The exceptionally long finish reveals well-integrated rancio notes, a testament to the extended aging process of this prestigious cognac.

Bottles of Hine Triomphe from the 1980s are now rare treasures, highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Presented in elegant decanters, they symbolize the artisanal expertise and excellence of the Hine house, which has been crafting fine cognac for over two centuries.
