Decanter of Hennessy Paradis with 2 crystal glasses, in front of a grand piano

For nearly 200 years, the Hennessy family has entrusted the Fillioux family with its cognacs. When creating Paradis in 1979, our 6th-generation Master Blender, Maurice Fillioux, compared it to ‘a symphonic orchestra’, a union of exceptional eaux-de-vie selected for their individual qualities and working together to create a harmonious and graceful cognac.

Your journey begins with a brief crossing of the Charente River, which has played an essential role in the Maison’s history. Then, head to the Pavillons Cellar to delve into the Hennessy saga and immerse yourself in our incredible virtual reality experience, MOBILIS. Created by French artists Kuntzel & Deygas, this mesmerizing blend of poetry and high technology has already garnered several major accolades as 'Best Innovation' in the wine tourism industry.

Rare privilege, you will be invited to enter the prestigious Founder’s Cellar. Usually off-limits to the public, this historic building constructed in 1774 is among the most emblematic of the House. It houses our rarest eaux-de-vie, some of which are used in the composition of Hennessy Paradis.

Hennessy's 8th generation Master Blender, Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, tasting cognacs in his office

As the highlight of your visit, immerse yourself in the 11am daily ritual of the Hennessy Tasting Committee, a group of experts led by our 8th generation Master Blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, and enjoy a guided tasting of Hennessy X.O and Hennessy Paradis, a voluptuous blend distinctive for its smoothness and graceful character.

The eaux-de-vie in Hennessy Paradis have been aged exclusively in very old barrels, giving this cognac its amber gold color and hues. On the nose, it exudes floral notes and jasmine, underpinned by delicate notes of cinnamon and exotic fruit. On the palate, a graceful, silky texture leads to a flavorful and deep, persistent finish. An exceptional epicurean experience and unforgettable journey into the world of Hennessy.
