The Cognac house Jas Hennessy & Co, which is based in Cognac in France,marked an
important milestone in its history. Its 7th Master Blender, Yann Fillioux, has passed the torch of know-how and cognac
creation to his nephew, Renaud Fillioux
de Gironde, the 8th generation in a lineage that has remained unbroken for
more than two centuries.
A 39 year-old
Cognac native, Renaud Fillioux de
Gironde has already completed a comprehensive journey at Hennessy. Previously the Winegrower
Relations Manager, a key position for ensuring raw material supply, he has been
groomed for the role of Master Blender by his uncle for more than fifteen
years.
Chairman and CEO of Hennessy Bernard
Peillon said, “As CEO
and President of Hennessy, my obsession is to guarantee the excellence of
Hennessy cognacs just as my predecessors have done. After 15 years of
preparation, Renaud, with the support of the experts of the Tasting Committee,
is now a part of the Maison Hennessy’s future.”
