The House of Rémy Martin turns 300 years old this year.

Since 1724, the House of Rémy Martin has only one dream: to produce exceptional cognacs. As a result of its masterful blends, generations of heritage, profound love of the land, a continuity of a visionary family ownership and know-how in Cognac, its multi award-winning collection continues to appeal to the world’s most discerning connoisseurs.

The most exceptional tricentenary celebration release is the 300th Anniversary Coupe. Available in very limited edition, it is created by cellar master Baptiste Loiseau with Rémy Martin “Réserve Perpétuelle”. This precious collection of exceptional eaux-de- vie comes exclusively from the Grande Champagne terroir. Located in the centre of the Cognac region, eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne is known for the exceptional aromatic quality and aging potential. The collection is saved and passed forward by generations of cellar masters.
Available for pre-order and in stores by March 2024, only 6,724 individually numbered bottles of this unique 300th Anniversary Coupe will be released worldwide. Less than 60 will be released in select Canadian provinces.
“The perpetual reserve is as much a process as a legacy,” says Loiseau. “When a new blend is created, part of it is set aside for future cellar masters. In turn, they will use it for the next Anniversary Coupe. To create the 300th Anniversary Coupe, I have enriched this blend with the treasures of our cellars and Grande Champagne terroir, which will be the legacy I leave for the next generation. By reserving some eaux- de-vie from this precious Coupe 300th Anniversary, the story will continue for future generations.”

Inspired by the iconic shape of the 250th Anniversary Coupe created in 1974, the glass carafe is enhanced with embossed lines, symbolizing the forward motion of the Rémy Martin Centaur’s javelin, the iconic emblem of the House since 1870. The carafe is presented in a bespoke wooden case containing a special note from the Cellar Master and a unique QR code to access exclusive digital content on remymartin.com.
Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal has won the Gold (Taste) and Gold award in the 2023 Global Cognac Masters Awards.

Another notable recent release is the Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal. Born from the cask and named after a royal approval, this uniquely oaky blend opens with the aromas of plum and fig jam, which are rounded out with oaky notes of toffee, brioche and toasted bread. In the mouth, enjoy the smooth mellowness of spiced butterscotch with hints of dark chocolate. A 300th Anniversary edition is now available, and should be a part of every cognac connoisseur collection.
300th Anniversary limited editions are also available for Rémy Martin XO and VSOP at the LCBO.
