MANILA, Philippines - Maurice Richard Hennessy, an 8th generation descendant of the Hennessy family, recently arrived in Manila. For his reception, Hennessy hosted an exquisite dinner at the Makati Shangri-La’s Rizal Ballroom. Moët Hennessy Asia Pacific – Philippine Representative Office invited its closest friends and partners including members of media and trade, the cream of the social and business sector. The evening consisted of an elegant sit down dinner with an expertly Hennessy paired menu. The ambience was elegant and intimate, creating an all-together perfectly sublime experience, to honor Monsieur Hennessy. This member of the Maison Hennessy Ambassador team also conducted a tasting for the guests. Who better to speak of Hennessy cognac than a true Hennessy and vineyard owner in his own right.
