n 1981, Cellar Master André Giraud set out to create an XO that would express the excellence of the Cognac Fine Champagne.
Rémy Martin XO is composed of eaux-de-vie coming exclusively from the highest-quality vineyards of Cognac, the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Such eaux-de-vie offer an exceptional aging potential and are known as Cognac Fine Champagne.
Rémy Martin XO won a gold medal at the 2010 Spirits Business Cognac Masters (UK) and a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2014.
Remy Martin XO Cognac Tasting Notes
Nose: Wide spectrum of late summer fruit aromas, combined with rich floral notes of white flowers such as jasmine.
Taste: The perfect expression of Fine Champagne opulence on the palate with mature flavors of juicy plums and candied oranges, with a hint of hazelnuts and cinnamon.
Finish: Velvety, rich, and lingering.
Distillery Information
Located in the heart of the Grande Champagne area in Touzac, our master distiller transforms the wine into eau-de-vie. Our House chooses to distill “on the lies”. This process, subtle and delicate, allows us to obtain round, generous and opulent eaux-de-vie with a long ageing potential. This step of the cognac production requires an exceptional knowledge that has our master distiller who controls the process by nose and intuition.
