Remy Martin had released 1989 vintage cognac
18 November 2008
Remy Martin has announced their first single-harvest cognac since Remy Martin 1965. Remy Martin has chosen a cognac crafted from the legendary 1989 vintage.
Hot summer days combined with cool nights for ideal maturation of the Ugni Blanc grapes. Georges Clot, Remy Martin cellar master at the time, strove to select the best plots from over a thousand exclusively located in Grande Champagne vineyards, choosing eaux-de-vie from four estate-owned plots.
After 18 years of ageing in Limousin oak barrels which were kept separately in a dedicated Remy Martin cellar, it was decided at the annual tasting in 2007, that Remy Martin 1989 was reaching its peak.
Tasting notes highlight clove and fig with an intense lingering mouthfeel. It is sold in a black frosted bottle with a resealable wooden cork hand dipped in wax to create a unique seal for each bottle and sells for $300.
