✨ Technical Specifications
Rémy Martin's Centaure XO is a masterfully crafted Cognac Fine Champagne, a designation requiring at least 50% Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie, with the remainder sourced from Petite Champagne. The centaur logo, chosen in 1870 by Émile-Rémy Martin, represents Sagittarius, symbolizing the union of man, nature, and craftsmanship. Distilled with the lees in small copper pot stills, this expression is aged in toasted Limousin oak casks, which imparts a deep amber hue and a complex aromatic profile of dried plums, candied orange peel, jasmine, and subtle hazelnut. It represents the pinnacle of the house's traditional blending expertise, showcasing the remarkable terroir of the Charente region's chalky soils.
