RÉMY MARTIN
COGNAC FINE CHAMPAGNE
A UNIQUE TERROIR
Tempered by an ocean breeze, the cognac terroir is unique. In the Grande and
Petite Champagne vineyards, the limestone rocks reflect the sun onto the grapes,
the main variety grown being Ugni Blanc.
EXCLUSIVELY GRANDE AND PETITE CHAMPAGNE
Rémy Martin produces its cognacs with eaux-de-vie originating exclusively from
the Grande and Petite Champagne areas. These are the most prestigious crus
where the chalk in the subsoil is soft and clay is rare, to produce fine, round eaux-
de-vie. Our cognacs have the Cognac Fine Champagne appellation.
In the heart of Grande Champagne, the properties of the House of Rémy Martin:
the Estate in Merpins, the House in Cognac, the Estate of Le Grollet in Saint-Même-les-Carrières,
the vineyards in Juillac-le-Coq, Saint-Preuil and Gensac-la-Pallue.
