Father's Day is an opportunity to indulge epicureans who know how to savor the fruits of the vine with relish... from the Cognac or Champagne regions. We have selected two Houses that are unparalleled in creating incomparable beverages... Hennessy Cognac House and Edouard Brun Champagne House.
First of all the Hennessy House and three extraordinary experiences…

Discover all the secrets of this limited edition in our article, It is on sale at the Hennessy space at La Samaritaine (3e floor) and at the Hennessy boutique in Cognac, at the price of 255 Euros.
The second experience is a personalization inspired by the art of calligraphy which can be made at the Hennessy space at La Samaritaine. Two possibilities with the Hennessy XO carafes (70 cl – 225 Euros) or Hennessy Paradis (70 cl – 1 euros). Find all the details here.
The third experience takes us on the paths of gourmandise. Maisons Hennessy and Hugo Desnoyer have joined forces for a new experience of pairing…a veal tartare from Corrèze by Hugo Desnoyer and Hennessy XO cognac.
This is Hugo Desnoyer's third collaboration with Maison Hennessy, offering a unique experience around the meat and Hennessy XO cognac pairing at his table in the 16th arrondissement.e arrondissement of Paris. Sharing the values of passing on know-how, the master artisan butcher likes to combine selected pieces with the creations of Renaud Fillioux, the master blender of Maison Hennessy.
Since mid-May, Hugo Desnoyer has been offering a new gourmet experience on the menu of his restaurant, the Pairing Meat Cognac (meat and cognac pairing): an intense flavor combination of two exceptional products, the quality of Corrèze veal tartare prepared with a knife, served with a glass of Hennessy XO acting as a gourmet highlight. Hennessy XO is intensely aromatic and perfectly echoes the texture, texture, and flavor of Hugo Desnoyer's veal tartare. Two products, two aromatic combinations that come together perfectly.
While the master butcher is a connoisseur of red meat, veal is a kind of object of study for him. Known for serving some of the finest veal in France, he enjoys working with it and then creating original variations, such as veal tartare, which remains one of his signature dishes.
With its subtle spicy and woody notes, Hennessy XO Cognac is the result of a rigorous selection of eaux-de-vie: deep and powerful, they are distinguished by their personality and their ability to balance each other. It is through this meticulous blending that we obtain this powerful, rich and exceptionally persistent cognac. Its amber color, mahogany highlights and tannin aromas suggest a deep and powerful character. On the nose and palate, it presents a candied sweetness, notes of spices, rich aromas of wild cocoa and a woody character. The permanence that emerges from it expresses all the complexity of its blend and its long-term aging.
This Meat and Cognac pairing is available only on the menu at Boucherie Restaurant Hugo Denoyer until November 15, 2023 at the price of 45 Euros (28 rue du Docteur Blanche 75016 Paris – 01 46 47 83 00 – Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and Thursday for dinner only). This recipe can be found in his book Meat Recipes from a Partisan Butcher published by Editions First, published in October and priced at 35 euros.
