✨ Technical Specifications
Created in 1979 by Master Blender Maurice Fillioux, Hennessy Paradis is a legendary Cognac named after the historic 'Paradis' cellar—the sacred heart of the Hennessy founder's cellars where the oldest, rarest, and most precious eaux-de-vie are kept. This exquisite blend harmonizes up to 100 different eaux-de-vie, some dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, selected for their exceptional finesse and floral character. Aged in ancient French oak casks, it displays a rich copper hue and a complex aromatic profile of dried flowers, jasmine, honey, and delicate spices, representing the pinnacle of blending artistry.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1765 by Irish officer Richard Hennessy along the banks of the Charente River, Maison Hennessy has defined the architecture and prestige of modern Cognac. Sourcing primarily Ugni Blanc across the region's elite crus—notably Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, Borderies, and Fins Bois—the house relies on chalk-dense, limestone-rich soils and a temperate maritime microclimate to achieve base wines of searing natural acidity. Double-distilled on the lees in traditional Charentais copper pot stills, the unaged eaux-de-vie mature inside fine-grained French Tronçais and Limousin oak casks, orchestrated through humid and dry aging cellars. The blending process has been shepherded across eight generations of the Fillioux dynasty, overseen today by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde and the venerated Tasting Committee. From benchmark bottlings such as V.S.O.P Privilège and X.O to crowning legacy assemblages like Hennessy Paradis and Richard Hennessy, the house embodies exceptional purity, structure, and centuries of architectural blending finesse.
