Since 1724, Rémy Martin has been first and foremost a vigneron. For almost 300 years, the House of Rémy Martin has been growing grapes and distilling wine into their precious eaux-de-vie. Even today, Rémy Martin continues to respect their distilling traditions by remaining committed to classical methods. For example, distillation on the lees in small copper stills, called alambics, to produce a more intense spirit with better depth and intensity of flavor. This adherence to tradition and quality has helped the House of Rémy Martin maintain its consistency to keep our signature aromatic flavor. Eaux-de-vie (“waters-of-life”) are what give a cognac its distinctive, signature aromatic intensity and flavor. This cognac can only be created after a long, delicate, and traditional distillation process to reveal the very heart of Fine Champagne Cognac. Furthermore, since only the finest eaux-de-vie can be selected, the Alliance Fine Champagne, together with wine growers and distillers, are extremely particular when it comes to the rigorous selection of these eaux-de-vie.
