✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1724 by a young winegrower, the House of Rémy Martin has spent three centuries perfecting the art of Cognac. The 'Fine Champagne Superieur' is a testament to this heritage, crafted exclusively from the chalk-rich soils of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne—the two most prestigious crus of the Cognac region. By French law, a 'Fine Champagne' must contain at least 50% Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie. These soils, rich in limestone, impart a remarkable finesse, floral complexity, and longevity to the grapes, which are primarily Ugni Blanc. Distilled on the lees in traditional small copper Charentais stills and aged in Limousin oak casks, this expression delivers a harmonious blend of dried fruits, warm spices, and subtle floral notes, embodying the legendary craftsmanship of the house.
🍾 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.
