Seasons of Cognac

Description

Cognac hails from a unique terroir in the Charentes region of France, where the elixir's blend of tradition and voluptuousness has been rhythmed by the seasons for centuries. This handsome volume invites aficionados of fine spirits on a year-long journey into Hennessy's realm, guided by lifestyle journalist Laurence Benaïm's impressions on the singularity of the landscape, the temperament of its vineyards, the transformations that take place within its cellars, and the exceptional know-how at the origin of this amber treasure.

The transportive text is illustrated by a dozen evocative watercolours; together they create a keepsake homage to the style and taste that intrinsically define Hennessy cognac.
