Cellar master Paul Szersnovicz describes it in a single word: balance.  The harvested grapes were rich in sugars yet retained a striking natural acidity, a perfect duality that is the hallmark of a truly exceptional vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd 1975 was a year of remarkable cultural energy beyond the vineyard. The United Nations declared it International Women's Year; the Apollo-Soyuz mission marked the first joint US-USSR space flight; Jaws changed cinema forever; and the Altair 8800 — the world's first consumer microcomputer — went on sale. The eaux-de-vie laid down that autumn have been quietly ageing ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage is also exceptional because it draws from a single plot at the heart of Grande Champagne, making it an expression of place as much as of year. Distilled in 1975 using HINE's traditional double distillation on the lees, a technique that preserves the full aromatic character of the base wine, the spirit was transferred to French oak casks, where it rested for five decades. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*This item includes one (1) 700ml bottle of Hine 1975 Timeless Poetry.
