One of the best known brands in cognac, Hennessy is considered one of the ‘big four’ along with Courvoisier, Martell and Remy Martin. Founded in 1765 by Richard Hennessy, an Irishman, the company was run as a family concern until 1971 when it merged with the champagne houser Moët & Chandon. In 1987 Moët-Hennessy merged with Louis Vuitton to form LVMH.
