St. Remy Authentic Brandy VSOP 1.0 Ltr 40%

Base wine of the highest quality

The St. Rémy distillery can look back on a history of over 120 years. It was founded in 1886 in the small town of Machecoul, near Nantes. The area around Machecoul is one of the best growing areas for the 'Gros Plant' grape variety. Gros Plant is better known under the name Folle Blanche. This is a white grape variety with a very high acid content, which was originally used for cognac production. After the phylloxera plague, however, the more resistant 'Ugni Blanc' grape variety was used in the Cognac region. The lower-yielding and more disease-prone Folle Blance grape was rarely cultivated despite its higher quality.

From a small business to the most popular French brandy in the world

Due to the high quality of the brandy, the French brandy from St. Rémy quickly made a name for itself in the world of spirits. The first exports to the rest of Europe followed in the 1920s and from the 1970s onwards it was exported worldwide to countries such as the USA, Vietnam, Canada, Finland, Nigeria and Australia. Sales figures were good and so the brandy from the village of Machecoul, which has a population of 6,000, blossomed into the most popular French brandy in the world.

The Napoleon quality

The Napoleon quality, which is relatively unknown compared to VSOP and XO, stands for cognac or French brandy that has been stored in barrels for at least 6 years. Incidentally, this is exactly the same length of time as XO cognac has to be stored in barrels. During this time, the brandy develops great aromas of orange zest, apricots, vanilla and jasmine flowers. The St. Rémy Napoléon offers the highest quality brandy at an unbeatable price. The low price and high quality make the brandy perfect for high-quality cocktails. Try this brandy as a long drink with ginger ale or with coffee. You will be amazed!
