FAQ's For Hine XO 1er Grand Gru Cognac

How is this Cognac made?

This XO is crafted from Ugni Blanc, the signature grape of Cognac, grown exclusively in the Grande Champagne 1er Cru, the highest‑rated terroir in the region. The chalk‑rich soils of this cru produce high‑acidity wines ideal for double distillation, resulting in eaux‑de‑vie with exceptional finesse, aromatic lift and long ageing potential. The blend is composed solely of Grande Champagne eaux‑de‑vie, selected for their purity, citrus vibrancy and structural elegance.

After distillation, the spirit matures for many years in French oak barrels, where it develops notes of honey, spice, floral depth and silky texture. Crafted under the guidance of Eric Forget and Paul Szersnovicz, this XO embodies the transmission of expertise between generations of cellar masters, resulting in a Cognac of remarkable balance and complexity.

How should I serve this Cognac?

Serve at 18–20°C in a tulip glass to highlight its aromatic depth. It is best enjoyed neat, though a splash of water can open up the citrus and spice notes.

How long is Hine XO aged for?

XO Cognacs must be aged at least 10 years, though Hine typically uses older eaux‑de‑vie for added depth.

Does Cognac age further in the bottle?

No Cognac does not mature in bottle, but remains stable for many years.
