FAQs
No. An unopened bottle of Rémy Martin Cognac stored correctly will not expire or spoil. The high ABV, ranging from 40% for VS and VSOP to higher for XO, prevents microbial deterioration. Once opened, gradual oxidation will begin to alter the aromatic profile over months and years, but the spirit will not become unsafe to drink. For premium expressions such as XO and above, consuming within one to two years of opening preserves the full complexity for which the price was paid.
Rémy Martin is one of the four major Cognac houses, founded in 1724 by vine grower Rémy Martin in Cognac, France. Now owned by Rémy Cointreau, it is distinguished by its exclusive use of grapes from the Premier Cru Fine Champagne classification, a blend of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, the two most prestigious Cognac crus. This commitment to Fine Champagne grapes gives Rémy Martin Cognacs their characteristic floral, elegant, and fruit forward house style.
Rémy Martin VSOP and above is best consumed without mixers that mask the quality of the base Cognac. A Rémy Martin VS Sour, with fresh lemon juice and sugar syrup, is the most respectful cocktail application that preserves the dried apricot and citrus character. A Sidecar, combining VS or VSOP with Cointreau and fresh lemon, is the classic Cognac cocktail. For warm weather, Rémy Martin VSOP with cold ginger ale and a twist of lemon is a light, sessionable serve that does not embarrass the spirit.
