Hennessy VS Blue Label 200ml

About Hennessy VS Blue Label 200ml - Taste & Features

Hennessy VS Blue Label 200ml greets you with a smooth, inviting warmth and a balanced, aromatic profile that makes it feel approachable for casual toasts or after-dinner sipping. The cognac is produced in the Cognac region of France, aged in oak barrels to develop depth, and carries the standard 40% ABV (0.4). This VS expression is crafted from a blend of eaux-de-vie from surrounding estates, reflecting traditional Cognac methods before bottling in a compact 200ml format.

On the palate, expect notes of stone fruits, vanilla, and a touch of spice, with a gentle woodiness that evolves as you nose and taste. It pairs nicely with dark chocolate, where bitterness and cocoa bring out the fruit and spice components, and with foie gras, where the smooth richness can balance the pâté’s richness and the cognac’s subtle sweetness.

Producer Information: Hennessy

Hennessy is based in Cognac, France, where the house traces its origins to 1765 when founder Richard Hennessy began selling eaux-de-vie across Europe. The company operates as a large, vertically integrated producer within the Cognac region, relying on a defining blend of many grape varieties and a careful selection of barrels. Production emphasizes copper still distillation and aging in French oak, with houses’ cellars housing extensive library of eaux-de-vie that mature to meet strict flavor profiles and consistency.

Its broader portfolio centers on a tiered line of cognacs designed for different tastes and occasions, including VS, VSOP, and XO, as well as more luxurious expressions such as Napoléon, Paradis, and the ultra-premium Richard Hennessy. Beyond these core cognacs, the brand offers prestige cuvées and limited editions that showcase complex blends and long aging, reflecting the house’s emphasis on terroir, refinement, and craftsmanship in every bottle.
