St-Rémy, the world-renowned brandy producer, introduces the St-Rémy Grand Blend, an opulent and luxurious brandy showcasing the art of blending at its finest, launching on 1st November 2024. This unique release is crafted from five exceptional small batches, carefully selected by Master Blender Cécile Roudaut, harmoniously combined to create an opulent and balanced brandy unlike any other.
Each of the unique, small eaux-de-vie used in the Grand Blend tells its own story, combining different regions, grape varieties, distillation methods and ageing processes. Lot no.1 – “Abundant” – is complex and balanced, uniting diverse varietals from across the French vineyards while lot no.2 – “Delicate” – brings a gourmet sweetness with Loire Valley Chenin. For lot no.3 – “Powerful” – intense and fruity notes of Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Baco Blanc offer richness and length alongside the rich and lively lot no.4 – “Exuberant” – made of Colombard from distinct French terroirs and with a long fresh finish. The final lot no.5 – “Incandescent” – combines Gascon Ugni Blanc and Baco Blanc to create a powerful blend full of character and length.
Cécile Roudaut, master blender, states: “We are excited to launch this unique Grand Blend, a first in the history of brandy. Each lot has been carefully selected to compose a unique product in the spirit of showcasing St-Rémy’s expertise in the making of top-end brandies.”
St-Rémy has ensured that the final blend includes around 25% pot still distillation, giving the brandy its rich and complex character. Bottled at 43% ABV, this brandy is non-chill filtered and free from added colouring, offering a pure and authentic tasting experience. St-Rémy Grand Blend delights the senses with its complex aromas of prune and candied fruits, and a bold, gourmet flavour that lingers on the palate.
Only 8,624 bottles of this first edition have been produced, making it a rare find for brandy lovers. Each of the five batches has been carefully chosen to create a distinctive product that highlights St-Rémy’s expertise in producing high-quality brandies.
St-Rémy Grand Blend is now available across the UK at RRP £49. This limited edition, with only 60 bottles available across the UK, offers a unique opportunity to experience a piece of St-Rémy’s rich legacy.
