About The Product
Rémy Martin Grand Cru Cognac is an exquisite expression within the Fine Champagne designation, meaning it is exclusively crafted from eaux-de-vie sourced from the two most prestigious crus of the Cognac region: Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. These crus are renowned for their chalky soils, which are believed to contribute to the finesse, complexity, and exceptional aging potential of the cognacs produced there. The process begins with the careful selection of Ugni Blanc grapes, which are pressed and fermented into a low-alcohol wine. This wine then undergoes double distillation in traditional small copper pot stills, a method that allows for precise control and the concentration of aromatic compounds. The resulting eaux-de-vie (literally "waters of life") are then meticulously aged in Limousin oak casks, sourced from forests in France that contribute specific tannins and aromas. Rémy Martin is particularly known for its long aging periods, often exceeding the legal minimums, allowing the Cognac to develop profound complexity, a rich bouquet of aromas, and a signature smoothness. The Grand Cru expression represents a specific selection of these aged eaux-de-vie, blended by the Cellar Master to achieve a harmonious and exceptionally refined character that showcases the very best of the Fine Champagne terroir.
