Rémy Martin Celebrates 300 Years of Exceptional Cognac: Highlights From the Lagos Coupe Gala

Marking Three Centuries of Craftsmanship and Innovation

Rémy Martin, the renowned French cognac house, is celebrating an extraordinary milestone – 300 years of excellence in cognac production. The tricentennial celebrations are being held worldwide under the theme “We Dream Forward”, paying homage to the brand’s heritage while looking ahead to a sustainable and innovative future. These global festivities recently made a stop in Lagos, Nigeria, where key highlights included the exclusive launch of the limited-edition Rémy Martin 300th Anniversary Coupe at a glamorous gala.

The 300-Year Coupe Launch Gala

The centerpiece of Rémy Martin’s 300-year anniversary celebrations was the unveiling of the Rémy Martin 300th Anniversary Coupe, a collector’s item representing three centuries of expertise in cognac-making. The launch gala took place on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, in Lagos, with an intimate, invite-only guest list of cognac connoisseurs, collectors, and celebrities from Nigeria’s art, music, and business scenes.

The limited-edition Coupe, created by Rémy Martin’s Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau, is a tribute to the brand’s history. It features eaux-de-vie from the Rémy Martin Réserve Perpétuelle, a collection of rare cognac exclusively sourced from the Grande Champagne terroir in the Cognac region of France. Grande Champagne is celebrated for producing eaux-de-vie with exceptional aromatic quality and aging potential, making the 300th Anniversary Coupe a reflection of Rémy Martin’s heritage of excellence.

An Exclusive Evening of Opulence and Craftsmanship

The Coupe Gala offered a luxurious experience for the invited guests, blending fine dining, education on Rémy Martin’s rich history, and, of course, exceptional cognac tastings. Guests were treated to a culinary journey orchestrated by some of Nigeria’s top chefs, who paired exquisite dishes with the finest Rémy Martin blends.

The highlight of the evening was an exclusive tasting of the 300th Anniversary Coupe. Guests were invited to fully immerse themselves in the experience by closing their eyes and savoring the layers of flavor revealed in each sip. The unique tasting process embodied the craftsmanship, tradition, and time encapsulated in every bottle of Rémy Martin’s cognac.

The evening also featured live music that celebrated both the art of craftsmanship and the vibrant Nigerian culture, contributing to a night filled with festivity and unforgettable moments.

The Centaur Tour: Bringing Festivities to the World

As part of its tricentennial celebrations, Rémy Martin has launched the Centaur Tour, an international event bringing the anniversary festivities to the world’s top nightclubs. The Lagos leg of the tour was a highlight of the September 2024 celebrations, showcasing Rémy Martin’s influence on luxury, culture, and lifestyle in Nigeria and beyond.

Introducing Rémy Martin XO Night: A New Era of Luxury

In a move that blends tradition with modernity, Rémy Martin also announced the launch of Rémy Martin XO Night, a high-energy cognac designed to elevate nighttime experiences. Aimed at a younger, affluent audience, XO Night is a premium extension of the iconic Rémy Martin XO and is crafted for exclusive nightlife venues around the world.

Set to launch in October, XO Night will debut at a high-octane club experience, introducing a new dimension of luxury that combines Rémy Martin’s deep-rooted heritage with a modern twist for the next generation of cognac enthusiasts.

A Celebration of the Past, Present, and Future
