Discover the World of Cognac: A Journey of Taste and Time

When you pour a glass of Cognac, you’re not just enjoying a drink — you’re sipping centuries of French tradition, craftsmanship, and artistry.

What Makes Cognac, Cognac?
Cognac is a type of brandy with protected status, meaning it must follow strict rules to earn the name. True Cognac must be:
1. Produced in the Cognac region of southwestern France
2. Made from specific grape varieties – primarily Ugni Blanc, but also Colombard and Folle Blanche
3. Double-distilled in copper pot stills
4. Aged for a minimum of two years in French oak barrels

These regulations are not just legal— they’re part of what gives Cognac its soul.

The House of Rémy Martin: A Legacy of Elegance 

Founded in 1724, Rémy Martin is one of the most prestigious Cognac houses in the world. What sets them apart is their use of grapes exclusively from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus — the most sought-after growing areas in Cognac. Their eaux-de-vie (the clear spirit before aging) are known for their aromatic intensity and exceptional aging potential.

Let’s explore three of Rémy Martin’s most iconic expressions — each one a masterclass in aging and balance.
