✨ Technical Specifications
Hennessy Paradis Baccarat represents the pinnacle of Cognac craftsmanship, originally created in 1979 by Master Blender Maurice Fillioux. This extraordinary blend is composed of up to one hundred rare and old eaux-de-vie, primarily sourced from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, with some components dating back to the early 20th century. Aged in ancient oak casks within the founder's historic cellar, the spirit develops an incredibly silky, voluptuous texture and a complex aromatic profile featuring dried flowers, honey, delicate spices, and truffle. Presented in an exquisite, hand-blown Baccarat crystal decanter, it stands as a monument to the Fillioux family's multi-generational blending heritage.
🍾 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.
