About This Spirit
Located in the heart of the Grande Champagne, the premium wine growing area of the Cognac region, the house of Hine produces some of the most exquisite cognacs for six generations. The estate boasts an exceptional 173 acres of vineyards. The house has a very special tradition of producing relatively small quantities but with a very high standard in quality. One of their trademarks is to store their vintage casks in cellars in Bristol, England. This way, the cognac goes through a uniquely different ageing process due to the humidity of the seaside town.
