Hine Homage Grand Cru, Fine Champagne, Early-Landed Cognac, 40%

This marvellous cognac mixes elegance with extravagance. Floral notes sit prettily with heavier rum-raisin goodness on the nose, whilst the palate mixes bright candied peel, and clove with warmer pineapple hues and sweet freshly-cut grass. Spice and gingerbread tones to the fore on the lingering finish. The French have outlawed early-landed cognac and you won’t find any after 2020, so buy some now before it’s too late.

Homage is th equintessence of Hine's style. It is a unique blend composed of Early Landed vintage Cognacs aged in the UK together with some extra old Cognacs matured in Hine's cellars in Jarnac. Most of the 20 Cognacs contained within the Homage are from the Grande Champagne blended with some exceptional Petite Champagnes.

Homage is both exquisite and original. Intensely floral, velvety and long, with hints of citrus fruit and orange peel, so typical of Cognacs aged in England.
