As a tribute to almost three centuries’ worth of heritage carried by the House of Rémy Martin, Legendary Cellar Master André Giraud created Rémy Martin XO in 1981.  Think about the most sought-after vineyards of Grand and Petite Champagne in France—a region collectively referred to as Fine Champagne.  XO is blended from around 400 eaux de vie and aged up to 37 years.  It’s complex, but not difficult to appreciate. More than anything, it was opulence in liquid form.

To recognize the XO in its full glory, Rémy Martin presents Opulence Revealed: an innovative, multi-sensory, and interactive tasting experience of the award-winning cognac with House of Remy Martin International Ambassador Florian Heriard Dubreuil.

Florian directs guests in savoring the goodness of the golden spirit alongside fragrant fruits such as grape and pear, iris and jasmine flowers, walnuts and hazelnuts, dried apricots and figs, and spices like cinnamon, chocolates, cheeses, dried saffron, and stem ginger—highlighting the exquisite and sophisticated flavors of the XO.

The Opulence Revealed experience allows guests to discover a deeper understanding and appreciation of the finer points of Rémy Martin XO cognac through an exploration of textures, flavors and aromas. Once savored, one glass is never enough.
