French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH is best known for its marquee properties Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Fendi but the company has also collected the world’s most amazing collection of first class wine and spirits brands under its Moët Hennessy group. The incomparable portfolio is celebrated in a suitably lavish new book called Distinctive Vintages ($200 at Amazon.com) published by Flammarion.

The book focuses on the collection of fine French wines and spirits, personified in three regions that are “as noble as they are prestigious”: Cognac, the ancestral birthplace of Hennessy; Champagne, home Dom Pérignon and its confreres; and Bordeaux, graced by the magical Chateau d’Yquem. It offers both a practical guide to the three regions as well as an explanation of the different vintages and results produced by the famed houses.

Moët Hennessy owns too many luxury brands to list, but to name a few: Hennessy Cognac; Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon, Krug, Dom Ruinart and Veuve Clicquot champagnes; Belvedere and Chopin vodkas; Glenmorangie single malt Scotch whiskey; and Chateau d’Yquem wine. Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Pucci, Kenzo and Marc Jacobs fashion houses.
