Hennessy Classivm or Classium? New Cognac for China

LMVH Hennessy tasked New York design company, The KDU, to come up with the design for their new product: Hennessy Classivm (or Hennessy Classium) – how classy is that… for the Chinese market.

This new cognac is to be marketed exclusively in China and, by the look of the funky bottle and modern advertising, seems to be targeted at the ever-growing market of young Chinese cognac drinkers.

But what quality is Hennessy Classivm, what age? We would say it’s a VS, but we are not sure about it.

Can you tell me whether Hennessy Classivm is really produced by Hennessy Factory in cognac? The new product is called Classium and will be exclusively sold in China. I am curious about it.

Hennessy Classivm is not produced in china, that’s for sure. perhaps the bottles.. but first of all it’s not a “factory” but pot stills and cellars, and secondly “Classium” is just a normal VS cognac, put into another bottle.

I must say it’s not my style of cognac. But maybe it’s the right bottle for the chinese market.
