Rémy Martin Tercet Cognac (75cl, 42%)

A Fine Champagne Cognac from Rémy Martin, bottled at 42% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is a blend of eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, distilled on the lees and aged in large-grain French oak toasted to a medium-plus level. Launched in 2019, it was created by Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau, Wine Master Francis Nadeau and Master Distiller Jean-Marie Bernard to highlight the fresh, fruit-forward side of the house style. It carries no VS, VSOP or XO classification. The house describes a pure bronze colour with brilliant clarity. On the nose there are fresh tropical fruits — lychee, mango, pineapple and banana — alongside dried fruits with cinnamon, ginger and a hint of liquorice. The palate is fresh and bold, rounded with spices and fresh stone fruits, leading to a round, smooth and surprisingly long finish.
