The Parisian butcher Hugo Desnoyer and the prestigious House of Hennessy join forces to create an exquisite culinary experience that will take your taste buds on a journey like no other.

This perfect pairing of Corrèze veal tartare and Hennessy X.O. cognac reveals the beauty of craftsmanship and expertise from two masters of their respective domains.

In the chic 16th arrondissement of Paris, the celebrated butcher Hugo Desnoyer has once again teamed up with the esteemed House of Hennessy to present an unparalleled pairing of meat and cognac at his eponymous restaurant. This marks the third collaboration between Desnoyer and Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, Master Blender of the Hennessy House, both of whom share a passion for preserving and passing on their exceptional know-how.

Starting in mid-May, patrons of Hugo Desnoyer’s restaurant can savor the new “Pairing MEAT COGNAC” experience, showcasing the remarkable synergy between two exquisite products: a knife-prepared Corrèze veal tartare and a glass of the gastronomic enhancer, Hennessy X.O. cognac.

As Desnoyer himself puts it, “The pink of the veal is delicate, pearlescent, the texture of the meat is fine yet dense.” While the master craftsman is renowned for his expertise in red meats, veal has become a subject of study for him. His dedication to selecting and preparing the finest veal in France has led to the creation of his signature veal tartare, which has become a staple on his menu.

On the other hand, the Hennessy X.O. cognac is a sublime blend of deep and powerful eaux-de-vie, carefully selected for their character and balance. Its amber color, mahogany reflections, and tannic scent give a glimpse into its profound and robust nature. The cognac unveils an intricate tapestry of flavors, from candied fruits and spices to wild cocoa aromas and woody notes, a testament to its complex blend and long aging process.

Together, the Corrèze veal tartare and the Hennessy X.O. cognac form a perfect harmony of flavors and aromas, each enhancing the other’s unique qualities. This delectable pairing is available exclusively at Hugo Desnoyer’s restaurant from May 15 to November 15, 2023, at €45.

The artistry, passion, and expertise of Hugo Desnoyer and the Hennessy House have come together to create a truly memorable gastronomic experience that should not be missed.
