Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste & Sensory Profile
- Nose: Elegant and complex. It leads with warm vanilla from the oak, followed by dried apricot, candied pear, and a subtle floral hint of wildflower.
- Palate: Silky and well-balanced. You’ll find a harmonious blend of ripe stone fruits (peach/apricot) and baked apple, layered with a delicate touch of licorice and hazelnuts.
- Finish: Long and smooth. It leaves a satisfying mouthfeel with lingering notes of soft spices and a refined woodiness.
Food Pairings
Because of its structured fruit and vanilla profile, this cognac is surprisingly versatile with food:
- Savory: Gravlax Salmon or Blue Cheese. The oily richness of the salmon and the saltiness of blue cheese are beautifully cut by the cognac's acidity and wood tannins.
- Dessert: Apple Pie or Vanilla Macarons. The candied pear and vanilla notes in the spirit act as a flavor bridge to orchard-fruit desserts and creamy sweets.
- The "Rémy Ginger" Serve: While excellent neat or on the rocks, the brand’s signature serve is mixing it with Ginger Ale and a lime wedge, which highlights the VSOP's spicy and citrus undertones.
About the brand
Founded in 1724, Rémy Martin is the only major cognac house that specializes exclusively in Cognac Fine Champagne. To carry this label, the cognac must be a blend of eaux-de-vie from the two best growing regions: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne (with at least 50% from Grande Champagne)
