The cognac range covers the major houses and a good number of older bottlings. Rémy Martin is the largest name, with several Louis XIII decanters, followed by Martell, Hennessy, Courvoisier, Hine and Bisquit. You will find VS, VSOP and XO from current ranges alongside 1970s and 1980s bottlings, miniatures, half bottles and anniversary editions, plus a few independent single casks.
Cognac is a grape brandy from a protected area around the town of Cognac in south-west France. It is made mainly from Ugni Blanc grapes, distilled twice in copper Charentais pot stills and aged in French oak casks, often from Limousin or Tronçais. The cellar master blends eaux-de-vie of different ages and origins to create each cognac.
Rémy Martin Louis XIII is a blend of up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie, all from Grande Champagne, sold in a numbered crystal decanter. Older cognac bottlings, such as 1970s Hennessy or Bisquit 3 Star, show how house styles have changed. Cognac does not age in the bottle, so store it upright, away from light, and check fill levels and seals on older bottles. Some US-market bottles are 4/5 quart, and older French bottles 68cl or 70cl.
VS (Very Special) means the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend is at least two years old, VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) at least four years, and XO (Extra Old) at least ten years since 2018. Many cognacs contain much older brandies than the minimum. Napoléon and Hors d’Âge are other grades for older blends.
Cognac is a type of brandy made only in the Cognac region of France, mainly from Ugni Blanc grapes, double distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in French oak. Brandy is the wider term for any spirit distilled from wine or fruit, made anywhere in the world.
Louis XIII is Rémy Martin’s prestige cognac, a blend of up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, some aged for many decades. It is sold in a numbered crystal decanter, and older decanters and special editions are collected. Rémy Martin has made Louis XIII since 1874.
Grande Champagne is the most highly regarded of the six growing areas, or crus, of the Cognac region. Its chalky soils give elegant, long-lived brandies. The name has nothing to do with sparkling champagne; both words come from an old term for chalky open land.
No. Cognac ages only in oak casks; once bottled, it stays the same. Store unopened bottles upright, away from heat and light, so the cork does not deteriorate. An opened bottle keeps well for months, but the aroma slowly fades once it is less than half full.
