Description
Hine Grande Champagne Cognac, 1934
T. Hine Cognac
The 1934 vintage in Cognac emerged during a period of careful, traditional production between the wars, when houses such as Hine focused on quality and long-term ageing rather than volume. From the prestigious Grande Champagne cru — widely regarded as the finest terroir in Cognac for producing elegant, long-lived eaux-de-vie — this vintage reflects both pedigree and remarkable ageing potential.
Founded in 1763, T. Hine & Co has long been associated with refinement and an enduring connection to the British market. Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie are celebrated for their finesse and ability to mature gracefully over many decades, developing layered complexity while retaining poise and structure.
Tasting Notes:
Now deep amber with burnished mahogany tones, the nose is fully evolved and expressive. Aromas of dried apricot, fig and polished walnut are interwoven with notes of antique oak, tobacco leaf and caramelised orange peel. With time, subtle hints of cocoa, leather and warm spice emerge. On the palate it is supple and harmonious, the texture silky and composed despite its age. Flavours of toasted almond, dark toffee and dried fruits unfold gradually, leading to a long, warming and elegantly persistent finish.
Serving & Enjoyment:
Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass at room temperature. Allow time in the glass for the aromatics to develop fully. A Cognac of this age is best enjoyed slowly, marking a significant occasion or savoured in quiet reflection.
Summary:
A distinguished pre-war Grande Champagne Cognac from the historic house of Hine, the 1934 vintage offers depth, balance and the refined complexity that only extended ageing can deliver — a timeless and collectible expression from one of Cognac’s most respected producers.
