Created in 1979 by Master Blender Maurice Fillioux, Hennessy Paradis is an extraordinary cognac named after the legendary 'Paradis' cellar—the sacred heart of the Hennessy founder's cellars where the oldest and most precious eaux-de-vie are kept. This exquisite blend is composed of up to one hundred highly select eaux-de-vie, primarily sourced from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, which have been aged in seasoned French oak casks for decades. The blend is celebrated for its voluptuous, harmonious character, displaying a silken texture and a complex aromatic profile of dried flowers, rich spices, honey, and delicate rancio. It represents the pinnacle of blending artistry, passed down through generations of the Fillioux family.
🍾 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.
