Hennessy has lost its appeal to have its cellars taxed as farm structures rather than industrial buildings. A characterization of Hennessy’s cognac-located cellars as farm structures would have resulted in the cognac giant paying a lower rate of taxes on its cellars than a ruling that would have deemed them to be industrial buildings.
