✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted in 1974 to commemorate the historic milestone of Remy Martin's founding in 1724, the Grande Fine Champagne 250th Anniversary is a monumental release in the world of fine spirits. This rare bottling is composed of exceptionally old eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the premier cru of Grande Champagne, renowned for its chalky soils that impart unmatched finesse, complexity, and longevity. Distilled using traditional copper pot stills on the lees and aged for decades in toasted Limousin oak casks, this Cognac represents the pinnacle of the house's blending heritage. It offers a rich tapestry of dried fruits, exotic spices, leather, and the elusive rancio, serving as a liquid testament to two and a half centuries of mastery.
🍾 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.
