Rémy Martin, exclusively Petite and Grande Champagne
Specificities of the Grande and Petite Champagne crus
The terroir of cognac is unique, and the secret of its most aromatic eaux-de-vie lies in the limestone soils where the vines grow. Since 1948, Rémy Martin has been making its cognacs with eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne only.
The Cognac Fine Champagne appellation
These crus are renowned for their terroir, which produces particularly round, fine eaux-de-vie with great ageing potential. Rémy Martin cognacs bear the Cognac Fine Champagne appellation and LOUIS XIII the Cognac Grande Champagne appellation.
