Hine Antique XO Premier Cru Cognac 70cl

Description

Hine Antique XO Premier Cru Cognac is an elegant and complex expression, crafted exclusively from Grande Champagne eaux‑de‑vie and recognised as one of the House of Hine’s flagship releases.

Originally created in 1920 by Georges Hine, Antique XO was unusual for its time as it blended mature cognacs when younger styles were fashionable. Today, the Premier Cru edition continues that tradition, composed of more than forty different cognacs aged for over a decade, all sourced from Grande Champagne, the most prestigious cru of the Cognac region.

This cognac is celebrated for its finesse and depth. On the nose, it offers a rich and spicy bouquet with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper, alongside fruity aromas and gentle floral hints reminiscent of lavender. The palate is bright and complex, unfolding layers of ginger, orchard fruit and subtle oak, balanced by smooth textures and concentrated flavours developed through double distillation on the lees. The finish is long, warming and refined, leaving impressions of spice, fruit and delicate florals.

Presented in a beautifully faceted decanter that reflects its amber hue like a precious gem, Hine Antique XO Premier Cru embodies both craftsmanship and heritage. It is a tribute to over 260 years of Hine’s history, offering connoisseurs a cognac of exceptional quality and character. Perfect for sipping neat, it also pairs wonderfully with fine desserts or a cigar, making it a timeless choice for those seeking sophistication and authenticity in their collection.
