"Remy Martin": a name familiar to everyone
The progenitor of the drink is the Frenchman Remy Martin. Having worked all his childhood and youth in his father’s vineyards, he decided to open a small cognac company (1724). Fortune favored the young craftsman: along with the growing popularity of French alcohol, the authority of his enterprise also grew. After 14 years, Remy was awarded a special award by Louis XV - he allowed him to engage in the cultivation of a new vine. Taking advantage of the favor of the monarch, the company has grown a really solid grape, on the basis of which the first Remy Martin cognac was created. The drink was warmly received by the local nobility, and was soon recognized as the best in France. In 1841, the Remy Martin brand was registered by the descendants of Remy, and alcohol, originally supplied in flasks, was bottled. However, the famous "wrapper" with hoarfrost was invented much later - in 1972.

In 1870, the brand name of the brand was born - a centaur, rearing up and aiming a spear in the sky. A bold, proud character from Greek mythology was not chosen by chance.

Its base was the best grapes from the areas of Gran and Petit Champagne.

This year marks the beginning of his triumphal march on the planet. More than 70 years have passed since then, but the brandy's position has remained unchanged.
