In 1765, Richard Hennessy, an Irish Catholic serving in the French Army, founded a company in Cognac. His son Jacques rapidly ensured the continuing success of the company. Since then, the name of Hennessy has always been firmly associated with the history of Cognac.Today, Hennessy sells over 3 million cases of Cognac world-wide every year. An entrepreneurial spirit together with a constant search for the highest quality lead the company to become the leader among the great Cognac houses and to establish the greatest reserves of old cognacs available in the world.LVMH Group
