Iconic French Cognac Brand Hennessy & Fashion House Berluti Have Announced Their First Joint Venture

Hennessy, based in France, and Berluti, a luxury French fashion house, have announced their first joint venture.

The Maison Hennessy has added the Richard Hennessy x Berluti carafe to its Editions Rares line, which features works by the world's most esteemed artisans. With the legendary Richard Hennessy cognac mix comes a masterwork of leathercraft.

Only 12 tierçons of Richard Hennessy cognac are made each year, and they are made from the rarest eaux-de-vie in the world that have been hand-picked and aged in Hennessy's Founder's Cellar. The Baccarat carafe, designed by famous architect Daniel Libeskind, contains the rare combination.

The bottle is housed in a sleek, handmade attaché case made of luxurious, cognachued Venezia calf leather by Berluti's master craftsmen. It has a rectangular hole in the middle to showcase the carafe and its inscription like a prize, while the case's angular sheath protects the decanter's curves while it's within the case or on its own. Embedded inside the case is a custom-made cardholder with the Hennessy and Berluti names.

Private sales and Hennessy Houses throughout the globe are the only places to purchase one of just 150 copies of the Richard Hennessy x Berluti carafe.

Cognacs from Hennessy's Editions Rares collection are blends of the house's best and rarest eaux-de-vie, some of which have been aged since the early 19th century. More than two centuries and eight generations have gone into selecting the eaux-de-vie that have been aged in the Founder's Cellar in Cognac, France. The Richard Hennessy and Hennessy Paradis cognacs, as well as other unique blends, are assembled by the Hennessy Master Blender from these priceless reserves at at the perfect moment. Editions Rares, the pinnacle of Hennessy expertise, are handcrafted one-of-a-kind masterpieces released in very small quantities and released only when the timing is just perfect.
