Rémy Martin only uses grapes from the two most respected growing regions in the Cognac area - the Grande Champagne and the Petite Champagne. The blend of eaux-de-vie from these two crus containing a minimum of 50% Grande Champagne makes the Rémy Martin Fine Champagne cognacs. The eaux-de-vie from Petite and Grande Champagne, in the heart of the Cognac region, have the greatest ageing potential and are therefore treasured more.

During the ageing process, there is a certain percentage of cognac evaporation that is called the angel's share.
