SAMPLE HENNESSY’S EXTRAORDINARILY RARE PARADIS IMPÉRIAL COGNAC AT LE BRISTOL PARIS’ NEW TASTING SALON

October 20thFRANCE

Le Bristol Paris has just opened a tasting salon for Hennessy’s Paradis Impérial cognac, open only until 31st March 2018. The Precision Gallery is an intimate salon where guests can taste this extremely rare cognac in a suitably reverential atmosphere, by reservation only.  Hennessy’s Paradis Impérial cognac is the achievement of Yann Fillioux, a seventh generation Master Blender, and is perfectly complimented with canapés created by the ‘defender of French cuisine’, the hotel’s Executive Head Chef Eric Frechon who holds four Michelin stars at Le Bristol Paris alone.  Yann Fillioux has selected only 10 out of 10,000 of the finest eau de vie in a precise blending process. Some of the spirits have been aged for 200 years, yet Fillioux as Master Blender, captures that fleeting moment when he judges each selected spirit to have reached its apogee. The result is an exceptional cognac with a fresh and floral nose of jasmine and orange blossom, with a fine structure in the mouth, punctuated with smoky accents and spicy notes.  Frechon has been equally meticulous in his selection of savoury and sweet bouchées, such as a surprising kouglof with bacon colonnata, candied tomatoes and chorizo, or Peruvian chocolate in a pod, both sparkling and crunchy, with a lemon grass infused sorbet.

HOW: The Precision Gallery at Le Bristol Paris is open by reservation only, from 17 :30 to 01:30 daily. Reservations can be made at Le Bar du Bristol. Price: €150 for a Hennessy Paradis Impérial 2cl paired with four pieces of savoury or sweet canapés.
