Born in 1695, Rémy Martin was a vintner who diversified into selling cognac in 1724. The business passed to Martin’s grandson (also named Rémy Martin) in the 1770s, and to his descendant Paul-Emile-Rémy Martin, in 1841. It was the latter who introduced the famous centaur logo in 1870, and in 1874 for the company’s 150th anniversary he created the prestige blend that would later become Rémy Martin Louis XIII. In 1924, André Renaud, who had been with the company since 1910, assumed full control, introducing the iconic Rémy Martin VSOP Fine Champagne cognac in 1927. 

Fine Champagne cognac is made using only the top two cognac crus, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, and Rémy Martin accounts for over 80% of global Fine Champagne cognac sales. André Renaud’s son-in-law André Hériard-Dubreuil took over Rémy in 1965 and focused on luxury, buying the Heidsieck & Krug champagne brands and Mount Gay Rum in the 1980s and merging with Cointreau in 1990 to create Rémy-Cointreau; after selling their champagne brands, the company bought Bruichladdich distillery in 2012.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, this is not comprehensive and is based on a brief overview. Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. We do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new and may exhibit wear or tear, however many items are generally in good condition. If an item has notable faults, we will make every effort to mention these in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be on this page.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to provide a condition report or date the age of a bottle.
