On the internet we found an interesting video about a short Cognac Masterclass with Deputy Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau of Rémy Martin.
In this video, Baptiste shows how to drink the new Rémy Martin VSOP Matured Cask Finish. Enjoy!

Cognac Fans favorite Cognac Design glass comes from Normann Copenhagen, we even used a picture of it in our header above!
The design of the glass is beautiful, it is also fascinating to see the glass could spin like a top. As for glass to drink, I find it somewhat less suitable for brandy.

Everybody once tried to make music on their Cristal glasses, unfortunately we weren’t so good in doing this, therefore we decided to focus on the contents of the glass, the great Cognacs or wines…
The couple of the video in this article are very handy on Cristal Brandy Glasses, they call their table full of glasses a Glass Harp… Enjoy it!

Never heard about the brand Richard Delisle, but they make great video cocktails with Cognac, so enjoy!

You won’t believe your eyes, after seeing this video about a idiot dipping his $0.53 White Castle burger in a glass of $2000/bottle Richard Hennessy.
What do you think about this? Should he get punished?

Courvoisier Rose provides a smooth alternative to the traditional flavor profiles of cognac, offering consumers a fun, stylish beverage that is easy to drink. Packaged in the iconic Josephine bottle, Courvoisier Rose’s flavor profile features notes of blackberry, black currant and a touch of cherry, complemented by vanilla, honey and vine-peach flavors.
For those who typically pair cognac with juice or other mixers, Courvoisier Rose is the ideal alternative. The 18% alcoholic liquid is best served chilled or on ice for a refreshing and approachable taste experience.

Visiting the Cognac Region is a great way to learn more about Cognac, especially when you visit some Cognac distillers with their great and interactive tours…
On YouTube I found two HD movies from Remy Martin and Baron Otard, where the tour is almost completely shot. It is an easy and inexpensive way to learn much about Cognac and these brands in general!
Enjoy!

Last year I wrote about the introduction of the Rémy Martin V, it is the first clear spirit from the House of Rémy Martin.
Pronounced “Vee” (derived from the French word “Vie” for “life”), Rémy Martin V is also the first product of its kind in this category.
Luckily enough Cognac Fans managed to get a bottle of “V” to review it.

This year it’s early harvesting time in the Cognac region! Some producers even already harvested last week, such as Cognac Pinard, which harvested their vintage 2011 Folle Blanche grapes last Thursday 25th of August.
Last year, the major producers begun harvesting in the third week of September, this time it’s about 3 weeks earlier.
How does this early harvesting come, the weather hasn’t been great this summer? Well, it’s all because of the mild weather in the winter and the warm spring….
