Hennessy has been writing new chapters in the history of Cognac for over 250 years. True to the vision of its founding visionary, Richard Hennessy, the Maison is globally recognized for its exceptional cognacs.
Present in over 160 countries, Hennessy is valued for the quality of its cognacs, a product of unique craftsmanship passed down through generations. For two centuries, Hennessy entrusted the blending and tasting of its eaux-de-vie to the Fillioux family, now represented by Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, the eighth generation of master blenders from the family.
With deep roots in the heart of the Cognac region, Hennessy plays a key role in the regional economy. As the first spirits house to receive the ISO 14001 certification in 1998, Hennessy continuously innovates and works closely with its partners to preserve, enrich, and pass on the wealth of its exceptional terroir.
“Innovation means creating the classics of tomorrow.”
Created by Maurice Hennessy in 1870, X.O is the perfect illustration of this maxim, which is dear to the heart of the house of Cognac. Only two years after its creation, X.O allowed Hennessy to strengthen its presence in China. It presented the world with a radically new approach to the aging of eaux-de-vie.
