✨ Technical Specifications
Hennessy Nostalgie Bagnolet Extra Rare is a legendary, highly collectible Cognac created as a tribute to the Château de Bagnolet, the historic Hennessy family residence purchased in 1841 on the banks of the Charente River. This exceptional, limited-edition blend is crafted from extremely rare, aged eaux-de-vie sourced from the region's finest crus, primarily Grande Champagne. Guided by the ancestral expertise of the Fillioux family of master blenders, these precious spirits were matured in seasoned French Limousin oak casks. The result is an incredibly complex profile rich in rancio, dried apricots, old leather, sweet spices, and delicate floral notes, embodying the elegant 'art de vivre' associated with the historic château.
🍾 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.
