The Hennessy Privilege Collection 7 is a striking collaboration with the Milanese artistic duo Carnovsky, who utilized their pioneering RGB digital design technique to craft a visually arresting bottle that mirrors the multi-layered complexity of the Cognac itself. Inside the bottle is Hennessy's legendary VSOP Privilège, a blend first created in 1817 at the request of the future King George IV of England. This iconic blend harmonizes around 60 different eaux-de-vie, distilled predominantly from Ugni Blanc grapes harvested across the premier crus of the Cognac region. Aged in seasoned French oak casks from the Limousin forest, this Cognac offers a masterclass in balance, weaving together vibrant aromas of fresh fruit, vanilla, clove, and toasted wood.
🍾 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.
