Hine Cognac Grande Champagne 1953

VINTAGE 1953
GRANDE CHAMPAGNE

One of the finest years of the 20th century

Perfect example of a classic Grande Champagne having reached its full maturity, with exquisite velvety roundness.
On the nose, aromas of wood, of walnuts, old leather and honey mainly due to the oak wood barrels used during its ageing.
