✨ Technical Specifications
Hennessy's 'La Vignerie' represents a distinctive chapter in the storied history of this legendary Cognac house, highlighting the concept of single-distillery expressions. Sourced from the Fins Bois cru, known for its clay-limestone soils, La Vignerie produces eaux-de-vie characterized by their roundness, flexibility, and charming floral aromas. Distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and matured in French oak casks, this expression showcases the specific terroir of the Fins Bois region. It departs from Hennessy's traditional art of multi-distillery blending to celebrate the singular, elegant, and fruit-forward personality of a single estate, offering a rare glimpse into the focused craftsmanship of Cognac's historic heartland.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy, Maison Hennessy is the world's leading Cognac house, nestled along the banks of the Charente River in Cognac, France. The house's enduring excellence is rooted in centuries of savoir-faire and a historic multi-generational collaboration with the Fillioux family of Master Blenders. Utilizing meticulously selected Ugni Blanc grapes from Cognac's finest crus—including Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—Hennessy double-distills in traditional copper pot stills before patient maturation in fine-grained French oak casks. Renowned for setting international benchmarks, its iconic range spans the elegant VSOP Privilège and the original X.O—pioneered in 1870—to exceptional prestige assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy.
