Appellation Cognac Fine Champagne Contrôlée. Blend of around twenty eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne grapes. An orchard is bathed in the long rays of a late September sun. It is early evening and the air is still warm, tempered by a gentle breeze. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Van Gogh’s Arles and the soundtrack is the warm voice of Cesária Évora. Aromas of roasted nectarines, ripe apricots and succulent melon inspire the lingering first sip, soft as brioche. Tasting Notes: Suave yet delicate, Rare is a classic expression of the House of Hine and a benchmark for our entire collection of cognacs. It reinterprets the fruity flavours characteristic of the white wines produced from Charente vines, particularly from the Grande and Petite Champagne varieties.
