A truly exceptional find for the discerning collector, this bottle represents a distinct era in Hennessy's storied history. This is a V.S.O.P. Grande Fine Champagne Cognac from the 1960s, specifically bottled for the United States market and imported by Schieffelin & Co. in New York. Its unique "Wide Tapered" bottle design is characteristic of a specific production period that began in the mid-1950s.
The designation Grande Fine Champagne signifies a superior quality blend, crafted from eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the two most prestigious crus of the Cognac region: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, with a minimum of 50% from the premier Grande Champagne cru. This specific blend composition promises a remarkable complexity and elegance, a signature of the Hennessy house style during this celebrated decade.
Presented in its distinctive wide-shouldered bottle, this vintage expression is a tangible piece of the brand's heritage. The House of Hennessy, founded in 1765, has a long-standing reputation for excellence, and was the first to use the V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pale) designation in 1817 at the request of the future King George IV of England. Owning a bottle from this period is to own a piece of that legacy.
The closure and capsule are consistent with the bottling period of the 1960s, making it a well-preserved artifact. As this cognac has aged in the bottle for decades, it offers a glimpse into the aromatic profile and palate of a bygone era. A highly collectible and rare item, this Hennessy V.S.O.P. is a testament to the enduring craftsmanship and prestige of one of the world's most renowned cognac houses.
