As one of the world’s most prestigious cognac houses, Hennessy needs no introduction. But even if you’re a cognac connoisseur, there are still delightful discoveries awaiting at the Maison. For over 250 years, the brand has been producing one-of-a-kind cognacs in the commune of the same name in the Charente region in southwestern France. Its founder, Richard Hennessy, an Irish officer in Louis XV’s army, had a vision to produce exceptional cognac and recognised the potential of the region’s grapes and distillation methods. Today, the brand is one of the leading premium spirits brands globally with a presence in more than 160 countries. All year round, Hennessy opens its doors to enthusiasts and curious minds to explore the rich heritage and craftsmanship behind the Maison. From the vineyards where grapes are grown to the cellars where eaux-de-vie are aged to perfection, the multisensory experiences offer a special glimpse into centuries-old techniques and traditions.
In celebration of the founder’s 300th anniversary, L’Officiel Malaysia was invited on an exclusive trip to Cognac to gain a deeper understanding of Hennessy’s storied legacy and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Less than three hours from Paris and just an hour from Bordeaux by train, Cognac makes for the perfect pitstop. We made our way to Cognac from Bordeaux.
