Rémy Martin VSOP is a Fine Champagne cognac, a blend of eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, with vanilla and ripe fruit at its center. It is among the most widely poured cognacs for sipping and cocktails.
Rémy Martin was founded in 1724 and is based in the town of Cognac. Fine Champagne cognacs must be at least 50% Grande Champagne, and Rémy Martin's VSOP is at least half Grande Champagne, with the rest Petite Champagne.
VSOP means 'Very Superior Old Pale' and signals a minimum aging of four years. The cognac is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
