We were quite excited to receive a parcel of drinks to the office, one of which was Remy Martin Champagne Cognac. A classic drink which is a beautiful, coppery gold colour. The Cognac Fine Champagne is, 55% Grande Champagne, 45% Petite Champagne. It is a beautiful brandy. Full of flavour and very deep and full bodied. I had never tried it before but a friend’s family love it so much they named their dog after it. I can see why. It does taste amazing. A great classy drink. It tastes great on its own but we also have some cocktail ideas below. Enjoy.
Fruity notes: apricot and peach
