✨ Technical Specifications
To mark three centuries of exceptional cognac-making, Rémy Martin released the Fine Champagne 300 Year Anniversary VSOP, celebrating a legacy that began in 1724. This special edition honors the house's signature style, crafted exclusively from a blend of eaux-de-vie from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, renowned for their chalky soils that yield spirits of incredible longevity and aromatic depth. Distilled with the lees in small copper stills and matured in toasted French Limousin oak casks, this VSOP showcases notes of ripe apricot, baked apple, wild wildflowers, and subtle vanilla. The history of Rémy Martin is intertwined with French royal recognition, having received a royal accord from King Louis XV in 1738, allowing them to plant new vines during a time of scarcity—a testament to the enduring quality that defines this anniversary bottling.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1724 by winegrower Rémy Martin, Maison Rémy Martin stands as an essential pillar of Cognac viticulture and distillation history. Based in the town of Cognac within the Charente department, the house is renowned for crafting Fine Champagne Cognac, sourcing exclusively from the chalk-dominant, porous Cretaceous limestone soils of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. These dual premier crus yield exceptional acidity and aromatics, ideally suited for prolonged maturation. Distillation occurs traditionally on the fine lees in small copper Charentais pot stills, producing eaux-de-vie of notable depth, opulence, and structural longevity. Maturation takes place in fine-grained French Limousin oak casks, overseen today by Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau. The estate and its partner cooperative, Alliance Fine Champagne, adhere to rigorous Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE Level 3) sustainable certifications. Celebrated benchmarks include the venerable Louis XIII, Rémy Martin XO, and 1738 Accord Royal, embodying layered notes of dried fruit, candied citrus, jasmine, and refined rancio.
