Remy Martin XO Special Fine Champagne Cognac 1990s with Box & Glasses

Rémy Martin XO Special Fine Champagne Cognac, 1990s Edition with Box & Glasses

Presenting a highly collectible bottling of Rémy Martin XO Special, a distinguished Fine Champagne Cognac from a sought-after 1990s vintage. This exceptional set includes the iconic decanter, its original presentation box, and two matching branded glasses, making it a complete and rare find for any serious connoisseur.

This particular release precedes the modern "XO Excellence" branding, representing a unique moment in the House of Rémy Martin's blending history. The XO Special was first crafted in 1981 by the legendary Cellar Master André Giraud, quickly establishing a reputation for opulence and complexity.

The term Fine Champagne Cognac is a legally protected designation, signifying that all the eaux-de-vie in the blend originate from the two most prestigious crus of the Cognac region. A minimum of 51% is sourced from Grande Champagne, known for its chalky soils that yield spirits of incredible aromatic intensity and aging potential, complemented by eaux-de-vie from the Petite Champagne cru.

This XO Special is a testament to the art of blending, composed of up to 400 different eaux-de-vie aged for extended periods in French Limousin oak casks. The result is a cognac of remarkable depth and harmony. Expect a rich tapestry of aromas, including notes of jasmine, ripe fig, candied orange, and a subtle spice of cinnamon.

This vintage Rémy Martin XO Special is a rare opportunity to acquire and experience a celebrated expression from a bygone era, embodying the timeless quality and craftsmanship of a world-renowned cognac house founded in 1724.
