✨ Technical Specifications
Created to celebrate Rémy Martin's long-standing partnership as an official supplier to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, the Fine Champagne Cannes Edition XO is a masterclass in the art of blending. This exceptional Cognac is crafted exclusively from eaux-de-vie sourced from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus—the two most coveted terroirs in the Cognac region, renowned for their chalk-rich soils that yield spirits of unparalleled aromatic complexity and aging potential. Composed of hundreds of different eaux-de-vie aged in French Limousin oak casks, this XO blend showcases the house's signature style. Historically, Rémy Martin has championed the 'Fine Champagne' designation since the 18th century, a heritage of quality that shines through in this bottling's opulent notes of juicy plums, candied oranges, white flowers, and grated cinnamon, all framed by a velvety texture and a lingering, warm finish.
🍾 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.
