Then, in 1993, a turning point came in his work when he began using glass. Working with top glass artisans on the Italian island of Murano, known for its glass crafts, Othoniel explored the properties of the materials used to create a signature style that poetically expresses and re-enchants the world. In recent years, his work has taken on an architectural aspect, and he has also created public facilities, gardens, and historical sites around the world. His major works include Les Belles Danses (Beautiful Dances), a gold-plated glass fountain sculpture that decorates the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, and Alfa, a 114-piece fountain sculpture displayed in the new National Museum of Qatar.・A heart-shaped metal sculpture titled “Kin no Kokoro” has been installed in the Mori Garden in Roppongi Hills, showing a fusion of contemporary art and Japanese gardens. In 2019, Othoniel’s painting series was added to the Louvre’s permanent collection, and in 2023, he unveiled a new series of six large-scale sculptures at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden as part of a major summer exhibition. In France, Othoniel’s work has been exhibited in the world’s best contemporary art museums, foundations, and private collections, including the first attempt to build a bridge over a magnificent garden near Paris, and the creation of an impressive fountain in the south of France.

third-generation owner, Maurice Hennessy, who created a special blend of vintage eau-de-vie that the Hennessy family had kept for close family and friends. In 1947, Gerard de Geoffre, a direct descendant of the Hennessy family, designed the current bottle with the motif of a bunch of grapes. A blend of approximately 100 types of eaux-de-vie made exclusively from grapes harvested from fields in the top four regions of the Cognac region, it is characterized by a rich, powerful, and extremely smooth style.

We use only eau-de-vie (raw sake) made from grapes from carefully selected fields, and find the perfect blend from our world’s largest storage capacity of over 350,000 barrels. These Hennessy commitments have evolved over time into the ultimate taste, and have captivated people as the most beloved cognac in the world. Even in Japan, since it was first imported in 1868, its high prestige has continued to make it stand out. For more information, please visit the official website below. Hennessy X.O official website
