St-Rémy is bottled in the Loire Valley and shipped around the world! An exact selection process The creation begins with the selection of red and white grapes, harvested exclusively in France’s finest wine-growing regions, such as Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire Valley, Bordeaux and Beaujolais. Round, subtle and well-balanced, its character expresses the elegant diversity of the wine regions of France – the famous French terroir. The unique features of each of these French regions are brought to life in the eaux-de-vie, thereby guaranteeing the character and elegance, also known as the “smoothness” of St-Rémy. Traditional distillation Distillation solely takes place in a continuous copper column. The French wines is heated until it turns into eaux-de-vie, a stage during which its unique flavours are revealed. The ageing process and the art of blending St-Rémy eaux-de-vie are aged in small French Oak barrels, and, as time passes, acquire their amber colour, their body and roundness, their fruity and floral accents and light spicy notes. It is a genuine blend of French traditions, distilled and aged until just the right moment. The Master Blender then demonstrates all her expertise in blending them, selecting the right eaux-de-vie, capturing their unique, mellow and well-rounded aromas. terroirs Vineyard people Cécile Roudaut / Master Blender Cécile Roudaut Master Blender2016 - today The dynamic Master Blender of St-Rémy was born in the bountiful Loire Valley. She still upholds the values of small-town living, with a house surrounded by vineyards that was formerly a post office. In the summer of 1997, Cécile joined Rémy Cointreau. Nearly two decades later, having helped with the creation of limited editions of St-Rémy, she was appointed Master Blender by her retiring predecessor Martine Pain. Cécile Roudaut defines her role as Master Blender as follows: “I work on selecting eaux-de-vies and nurturing them as they mature in Limousin oak barrels. I then evaluate them and create blends that will ultimately become St-Rémy.” Cécile is aware of the expectations of her work. “St-Rémy is an elegant brandy combining tradition, history and a unique smoothness. I see it as my role to ensure our brandy retains its authenticity and may be enjoyed by consumers from around age 30 to heaven!” Master Blender Cécile Roudaut’s expertise in maturing St-Rémy brandy in various types of casks is highlighted in the St-Rémy Cask Finish Collection. This collection is true to St-Rémy’s heritage of distilling, aging and crafting elegant French grape brandies since 1886. This first expression released in 2018, “Finished in French Chardonnay Casks,” released as a limited edition of only 9,360 bottles, includes a maturation stage in French oak casks that previously held Chardonnay wines. time 1886 The distillery is established in Machecoul.
