Description

This bundle combines Hennessy VS, Hennessy VSOP, and Rémy Martin VSOP — two expressions from the world’s largest cognac producer alongside the leading rival house VSOP, for a direct comparison of two of Cognac’s most established blending traditions.

Hennessy controls approximately 40% of global cognac sales and has been producing at Cognac, France since 1765. Rémy Martin is the only major cognac house to use exclusively Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie, giving their expressions a distinctly floral and fruity character. Side by side, the three bottles demonstrate how two different houses interpret the VSOP aging standard.

What’s Included

Hennessy VS 750ml — Minimum 2 years aged. The entry Hennessy — light, fresh, and versatile. The world’s best-selling cognac and the standard base for cognac cocktails. Hennessy VSOP 750ml — Minimum 4 years aged. Richer and more complex than VS — dried fruit, vanilla, spice, and the depth that comes from longer aging in Limousin oak. Rémy Martin VSOP 750ml — Minimum 4 years aged, exclusively Grande and Petite Champagne eaux-de-vie. More floral and fruit-forward than Hennessy VSOP — the Rémy Martin Fine Champagne house style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does VSOP mean in cognac?

Very Superior Old Pale — a cognac designation requiring a minimum of four years aging in oak, with the youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend meeting that standard. VSOP cognacs are more complex than VS (minimum 2 years) and more approachable than XO (minimum 10 years). Both Hennessy and Rémy Martin produce VSOP as the primary step up from their entry expressions.
