The illustrious story of Maison Hennessy is a family affair that dates back eight generations — a heritage that lends itself naturally to forging bonds with likeminded purveyors of exceptional savoir-faire within the LVMH family.
The exclusive custom-made Hennessy Paradis Impérial Trunk was specially created by the master artisans at Louis Vuitton to house Hennessy’s jewel of the Maison cognac and exceptional crystal decanter designed by the internationally acclaimed artist Arik Levy.
Informed by a mutual passion for excellence, this handsome black leather-lined case for the first time ever brings together the classic Louis Vuitton Monogram with the Hennessy seal and a stripe emblazoned across the front. The mobile cognac station is designed to house four magnums of Hennessy Paradis Impérial as well as serving ritual tools inspired by those the Hennessy Tasting Committee uses at its daily meetings — notably tulip-shaped glasses that are ideal for enjoying Hennessy Paradis Impérial at room temperature.
Nestled inside the trunk is a second accessory, a removable case called the Nomade, that can accommodate a single magnum of Hennessy Paradis Impérial.
Hennessy Paradis Imperial
Hennessy Paradis Imperial Cognac is the jewel of the Hennessy collection. An unprecedented alliance of age and finesse, it embodies the apogee of the art of selection and the relentless quest for finesse throughout eight generations of Master Blenders from the Fillioux family.
From any given harvest, the average number of eaux-de-vie with the potential to one day join this blend are rather rare: only 10 out of 10 000. Identifying and nurturing such finesse requires ultimate expertise and talent.
The Master Blender’s savoir-faire is also to define the right ageing conditions to raise a fine eau-de-vie to its point of elegance, i.e. the decisive and fleeting moment when it reaches its apogee, ready to join the blend.
Hennessy Paradis Imperial is characterized by its unique character, combining unexpected contrasts and an elegant grace. Its golden hue is surprisingly lighter than that of other old cognacs. This is due to the use of mature oak casks, which have few tannins, to preserve finesse. Likewise, despite the age of its eaux-de-vie, Hennessy Paradis Imperial features a light structure and an absolutely delicate yet persistent finish thanks to its floral notes that are as pure and crisp as a spring day, edged with a smoky, spicy accent.
