✨ Technical Specifications
Hennessy's Camp Romain Single Distillery Fine Cognac is a distinctive expression that highlights the unique terroir of a single distilling site. Located in the northern reaches of the Fins Bois cru, the Camp Romain distillery sits near an ancient Roman camp, lending the expression its historic name. The Fins Bois region is celebrated for its clay-limestone soils, which yield exceptionally supple, floral, and fruit-forward eaux-de-vie. Crafted primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes, this expression undergoes traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills before aging in French oak casks. The result is a highly focused Cognac characterized by notes of fresh pear, white flowers, and subtle sweet spices, offering a rare, terroir-driven glimpse into Hennessy's blending components.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy along the banks of the Charente River, Maison Hennessy has defined the architecture and prestige of modern Cognac. Sourcing primarily Ugni Blanc across the region's elite crus—notably Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—the house relies on chalk-dense, limestone-rich soils and a temperate maritime microclimate to achieve base wines of searing natural acidity. Double-distilled on the lees in traditional Charentais copper pot stills, the unaged eaux-de-vie mature inside fine-grained French Tronçais and Limousin oak casks, orchestrated through humid and dry aging cellars. The blending process has been shepherded across eight generations of the Fillioux dynasty, overseen today by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde and the venerated Tasting Committee. From benchmark bottlings such as V.S.O.P Privilège and X.O to crowning legacy assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy, the house embodies exceptional purity, structure, and centuries of architectural blending finesse.
