Signature Profile
Profile based on regional characteristics and distillery style. Individual expressions may vary.
From Source to Spirit
Ugni Blanc grapes are harvested in autumn from the chalky terroir of the Cognac region, prized for their high acidity.
Grapes are pressed and fermented into a thin, acidic white wine — the perfect base for distillation.
The wine undergoes two distillations in traditional Charentais copper pot stills (alambic), a process unchanged for centuries.
The eau-de-vie is aged in Limousin or Tronçais oak barrels, where it develops amber colour, vanilla notes and complexity.
The Cellar Master blends eaux-de-vie of different ages, crus and styles to create the house's signature expression.
After a final rest period, the cognac is brought to bottling strength and presented in its distinctive bottle.
Appointed as the official supplier of cognac to the British Royal Court. Hine is renowned for their Early-Landed cognacs, aged in British cellars near the Bristol docks.
