Cognac Region Report

Champagne Cognac
John Harvey & Sons, Bristol

1985 Hine Grande Champagne Cognac is a rare vintage release from one of Cognac’s most revered houses. Distilled exclusively from grapes harvested in 1985 and sourced from the prestigious Grande Champagne region—the Premier Cru of Cognac—this expression reflects Hine’s signature elegance and precision. With nearly four decades of slow ageing in French oak casks, it offers a glimpse into a singular vintage shaped by time and terroir.

On the nose, the 1985 vintage opens with a rich bouquet of dried apricots, candied orange peel, toasted walnuts, and vanilla bean. Layers of old leather, polished wood, and floral undertones emerge with time in the glass, showcasing the complexity that only decades of maturation can deliver. …

1966 Hine Grande Champagne Cognac — Joseph Barber & Co. Bottling

Vintage & Background
The 1966 harvest in Grande Champagne produced eaux-de-vie of exceptional finesse and longevity. Distilled from Ugni Blanc grown in chalk-rich soils, this Cognac was laid down in oak casks before being selected and bottled by Joseph Barber & Co., a London importer known for curating rare Cognacs for the UK market.

Appearance & Nose
After decades in wood and bottle, the Cognac has taken on a deep amber-gold colour with copper highlights. The nose is complex and inviting, opening with dried apricot, fig, and candied orange peel, then moving into honey, toffee, and spiced fruitcake. …

Shipped & bottled by Saccone & Speed Ltd, London

Since many years Hine has upheld a tradition of making good vintage cognacs, mostly made of Grande Champagne. Many of them were early landed, late bottled cognacs: cognacs that were shipped to Great Britain one or two years after the distillation to ageing them in the humid warehouses near the chalky coasts of England. These have a reputation of being very elegant and well balanced.

Grande Champagne Reserve Cognac (75cl)

A good Cognac is subjected to a complex manufacturing process. It is never made from the eau-de-vie of a single cru, but from a `marriage' of eaux-de-vie that vary in age and cru - some as old as a hundred. To establish the age of a Cognac, only the number of years spent in oak casks or barrels are taken into account. As soon as an eau-de-vie is decanted into a glass recipient, it ceases to age. The longer it is left to age, the more a Cognac gains in complexity, fragrance, aromas and taste (spiced, pepper and cinnamon flavours).

Alcoholic Strength by volumes 35° Gay Lussac. Fully matured in wood before bottling. …
