Process & Profile

Hine Grande Champagne XO Cognac is a prestigious expression from Maison Hine, rooted in the heart of Grande Champagne, widely regarded as Cognac’s premier cru. This XO (Extra Old) bottling is crafted from a selection of eaux-de-vie exclusively from Grande Champagne vineyards, known for limestone-rich soils that produce grapes with exceptional depth and aging potential. The spirit is distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes and matured in French oak barrels for extended periods, allowing layers of fruit, floral, and oak complexity to develop. After careful blending by Hine’s cellar masters, the result is a refined, elegant cognac that harmonizes richness, finesse, and longevity.
