In an age when luxury and authenticity merge to create unique stories, Maison Hennessy has just been crowned with one of France’s most prestigious honors, the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (EPV) label. This distinction, awarded by the French Ministry of the Economy, recognizes not only Hennessy’s age-old expertise in the creation of exceptional cognacs, but also its preponderant role in the local economic and cultural fabric. Obtaining this label is a celebration of the know-how, innovation and knowledge transfer that have characterized the company since its foundation.
Laurent Boillot, at the head of the House, expresses his pride and commitment to pursuing this quest for excellence, emphasizing that this recognition goes beyond enhancing their heritage; it projects Hennessy into the future with the responsibility of perpetuating and enriching this unique heritage. It is a commitment to sustainability, responsible innovation and the sharing of knowledge that forges the future of the House of Hennessy.
The Institut National des Métiers d’Art, through its president Luc Lésénécal, recognizes Hennessy as a model of French excellence, perfectly illustrating the vision of a company that is virtuous, human and innovative. With this label, Hennessy joins an exclusive circle of French companies that not only shine with their unique expertise, but also make a significant contribution to France’s cultural and economic influence on the international stage.
The five essential skills distinguished by the EPV label – from double distillation to product packaging, ageing, blending and cooperage – all bear witness to Hennessy’s unwavering commitment to excellence. These skills, veritable treasures of the Cognac tradition, are also at the heart of the wine tourism experiences offered by the House, inviting connoisseurs and the curious to discover behind-the-scenes know-how handed down from generation to generation.
In embracing this recognition, Hennessy is not content to celebrate its glorious past; it is resolutely committed to the future, ensuring that the living heritage of French cognac continues to flourish and seduce the world. Hennessy’s award of the EPV label is a vibrant tribute to French culture, a culture where excellence and passion for the craft shape timeless legends.
