Listen "The $2 Million Dollar Cognac: Henri IV Dudognon Heritage😳"
Episode Synopsis
The Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac, often valued at around $2 million, is known for its extreme luxury. This cognac, aged for 100 years, is notable not only for its heritage and quality but also for its presentation. The bottle is dipped in 24-karat gold and sterling platinum and decorated with 6,500 diamonds, which significantly contributes to its high price. The beverage itself is highly esteemed among connoisseurs. However, prices can vary based on factors such as market demand, availability, and the collector's interest at the time of sale.
The Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac is not a Champagne but a very high-end Cognac. Cognac is a type of brandy made from distilled white wine, which is then aged. It comes from the Cognac region in France, which is the only region where brandy can legally be called Cognac due to geographical protections. The name "Champagne" sometimes appears in the context of Cognac to describe one of the growing areas within the Cognac region, known as "Grande Champagne," noted for producing the finest quality eaux-de-vie (the distilled spirit before aging) due to its premier terroir. This is not related to the Champagne wine region, which is famous for producing Champagne, the sparkling wine.
