Unlike mass-produced cognacs, Rémy Martin’s eaux-de-vie are distilled with the lees, contributing to their round, creamy mouthfeel and layered aroma. The house is known for its exceptionally long aging periods in French Limousin oak barrels, allowing the spirit to develop rich notes of candied fruits, spices, leather, and toasted almonds that linger luxuriously on the palate. Each blend is overseen by a Cellar Master, who upholds centuries of tradition while integrating subtle modernity in technique and expression.
