✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy Paradis was first created in 1979 by Master Blender Maurice Fillioux, who drew upon historical reserves of precious eaux-de-vie handed down through generations of his family. This rare 1980s bottling represents an iconic early era of the blend, showcasing spirits distilled primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus of Cognac. These components were double-distilled in traditional copper Charentais alembic stills and aged for decades in Limousin oak casks housed deep within the founder's cellar, the 'Paradis.' The resulting cognac is celebrated for its exquisite silkiness, presenting a complex tapestry of dried flowers, candied orange peel, honey, and delicate spices that reflect centuries of blending heritage.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Maison Hennessy blev grundlagt i 1765 ved Charente-flodens bredder af den irske officer Richard Hennessy og har lige siden defineret den moderne cognacs prestige og identitet. Huset henter primært Ugni Blanc-druer fra regionens fremmeste crus – herunder Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies og Fins Bois. Her sikrer den kalkrige undergrund og det tempererede, maritime mikroklima grundvine med en markant, spændstig syre. Efter traditionel dobbeltdestillation på bærmen i klassiske Charentais-kobberkedler modner de unge eaux-de-vie på finkornede franske egetræsfade fra Tronçais og Limousin, fordelt mellem både fugtige og tørre lagringskældre. Den minutiøse blanding varetages i dag af Renaud Fillioux de Gironde og husets velrenommerede smagekomité som ottende generation i Fillioux-dynastiet. Lige fra referenceaftapninger som V.S.O.P Privilège og X.O til mesterlige prestigeblend som Hennessy Paradis og Richard Hennessy inkarnerer huset en enestående renhed, struktur og århundreders uovertrufne blendingekspertise.
