The Hennessy Limited Gold Edition VS brings a dazzling, celebratory aesthetic to the house's signature Very Special Cognac. Rooted in the historic Charente region of France, this expression is crafted from a meticulous blend of approximately 40 different eaux-de-vie, primarily distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced across the Cognac appellation's diverse terroirs. These spirits are aged in young French Limousin oak casks, imparting a robust wood character, lively toasted notes, and a vibrant fruitiness. The VS style traces its lineage back to 1865, when Maurice Hennessy created the star-based classification system. This limited gold bottling honors that rich legacy with a modern, luxurious presentation, delivering a palate defined by fresh toasted almonds, brown sugar, and a delicate hint of vine blossom.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy in the historic town of Cognac, France, Hennessy has grown to become the world's most celebrated Cognac house. Headquartered on the banks of the Charente River along Rue de la Richonne, the house is renowned for its centuries-old blending heritage, famously guided by eight generations of master blenders from the Fillioux family. Utilizing traditional double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills, Hennessy ages its precious eaux-de-vie in French oak casks sourced from the Limousin forest to develop unparalleled complexity and depth. The estate's legendary portfolio is defined by iconic expressions such as the VSOP Privilège, the pioneering XO Cognac—a category first created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870—and the exquisite, ultra-premium Hennessy Paradis.
