00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.160
I was born in the home of cognac and
so all I have wanted since I was quite young,

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.440
was to lead one of the great estates one day.

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.800
And so today I am proud to produce
truly sublime eaux-de-vie

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.680
in honor of a house such as Rémy Martin.

00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:28.640
Rémy Martin Wine Estates Manager

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:32.600
We know that cognac is a product of blends,
it is a blend of eaux-de-vie,

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:35.000
but it is also a blend of expertise.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.320
It is my job to focus on the basics,
from the planting of the vines

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.640
through to the development of our eaux-de-vie
not forgetting the harvesting of the grapes,

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.160
to make sure that the
expectations of the estate are met.

00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:55.360
Our vineyard is sensitive. It needs us.

00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:57.720
Therefore, assisted by my team of 20,

00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:01.840
we perform a large number of
observations and operations

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.360
to ensure we have a high-quality product,
that dutifully follows best practices

00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:08.720
so that, in the end, we have eaux-de-vie

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.880
that can withstand the test of time,
and age to become exceptional products.

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.680
The Rémy Martin estate is made up of
224 hectares of vineyards,

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.960
in the Grande Champagne region,

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.200
and our <i>raison d’être</i> is to be a model,
both in terms of quality,

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.480
as well as environmental aspects.

00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:32.400
While our terroirs are exceptional,
they also have an exceptional memory.

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.520
If we do not respect them,
we will lose their respect,

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:36.640
and they will no longer produce the same
exceptional quality that we except of them.

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.360
As a result, we have a genuine commitment

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:42.360
to reducing our environmental footprint.

00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:45.920
Since 2012, we have been
recognized as one of the top six

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.520
<i>Haute Valeur Environnementale
</i>[High Environmental Value] French companies.

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.440
The winegrowing roots of this house are
dear to me and when the first eaux-de-vie

00:01:55.440 --> 00:02:00.520
starts to flow from this parrot spout,
I feel a real sense of pride.

00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:01.920
I have fulfilled my childhood dream,

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.960
so that now I just need to hold onto it
for as long as possible.
