We had the pleasure of meeting Renaud Fillioux at the Hennessy headquarters in Cognac, France where he shared about the intricacies of being a master blender for Hennessy. Seated in front of portraits of his great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, Fillioux, who is the eighthgeneration family member to serve the maison, enlightened us about the importance of his role.
“My job is now and always will be about preparing for the future. If you think just about today, you’re losing out; it’s about thinking longterm and preparing eauxde-vie for future cognac blends. If you think shortterm in this industry, it’s difficult. We have to think about what will happen in the next five, ten or 20 years,” says Fillioux.
