Celebrating the tricentennial anniversary of Remy Martin, cellar master Baptise Loiseau is on a victory lap with his latest creation in tow, the 300th Anniversary Coupe.
Remy Martin's cellar master Baptise Loiseau and the 300th Anniversary Coupe he created. One of the questions I posed to Baptiste Loiseau was how he recorded and recalled notes from his tastings. As cellar master of Remy Martin house of Cognac, Loiseau presides over thousands of flavour components, in this case, unaged brandies called eaux-de-vie, which translates poetically to 'water of life'.
Limited to 6,724 numbered units and presented in a custom decanter, the liquid contains eaux-de-vie from Remy’s “Reserve Perpetuelle,” an everlasting collection of aged brandies, blended with the previous anniversary Coupe, the 290th, sourced solely from the exclusive Grande Champagne plots in the Cognac region.The Coupe series is a beautiful concept of perpetuity, linking the past to the future and one cellar master to the next.
The notes for every barrel are categorised and coded, he explained, but on a human level, it’s a memory game. “I was trained by Pierrette to make a parallel between the code and the aroma.” Throughout our conversation, he paid tribute to his mentor, crediting her for teaching him everything he knows, and even shared how he cajoled her back to the cellars to create the 300 Coupe. “She did the 290th, so she’s a part of it,” he insisted.
“I really wanted to be focused on the quality of the Reserve itself – the basis of the blend. For me, it’s not the number of eaux-de-vie that makes the richness, but much more the length of ageing and the time.”But it’s no less complex and took him close to a year to finalise from the samples to the final blend. During the process, he shared that he hadn’t revisited the 290th for a decade, and whenthe global cognac market is expected to double in size to be worth US$10.
