In 1999, Eric Forget joined HINE Cognac as the Cellar Master and subsequently also became Production Manager. Bernard Hine who “officially” retired at the end of 2001 spent his last few years at HINE passing on the ultimate secrets of the Hine philosophy and his art of blending to Eric.
Today Eric is responsible for assembling the exceptional blends of HINE Cognac and for nurturing as they age, their valuable casks of Jarnac matured and Early Landed Grande Champagne Vintage Cognacs.
A trained oenologist, he is also responsible for the management of Domaines HINE, a premier Grande Champagne estate.
