✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hennessy Paradis was first conceived in 1979 by Master Blender Maurice Fillioux, who sought to create an ultra-elegant Cognac defined by its harmonious complexity. Named after the legendary 'Paradis' cellar—the sacred heart of Hennessy where the oldest, most precious eaux-de-vie rest in seasoned oak—this expression is a masterful blend of up to one hundred distinct eaux-de-vie, primarily sourced from the prestigious Grande and Petite Champagne crus. The Chinese New Year 2025 bottling celebrates the Year of the Snake, marrying the rich heritage of French double-distillation in copper Charentais alembic stills with Eastern artistry. Unlike younger Cognacs, Paradis focuses on finesse and silkiness, showcasing delicate floral notes, dried fruits, and warming spices acquired through decades of patient maturation in historic cellars.
🍾 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.
