DFS group has unveiled Remy Martin Carte Blanche a Baptiste Loiseau in an exclusive launch at Singapore’s Changi airport.<\/p>\n
R\u00e9my Cointreau Global Travel Retail, in partnership with DFS Group, has\u00a0presented the world premi\u00e8re of the \u2018Carte Blanche \u00e0 Baptiste Loiseau\u2019, the first in a new collection of limited edition Fine Champagne Cognac from the House of R\u00e9my Martin, available exclusively at DFS<\/a>, Singapore Changi<\/a> Airport.<\/p>\n Baptiste Loiseau is the gifted Cellar Master of the House of R\u00e9my Martin, who was appointed in 2014 at the age of just 34. During the years he spent perfecting his craft alongside his predecessor Pierrette Trichet, he tasted every eau-de-vie that had been set aside by previous cellar masters for their exceptional ageing potential. Gradually he learnt to identify and cherish the treasures of the House.<\/p>\n Now the Cellar Master of R\u00e9my Martin, Loiseau has been granted \u201ccarte blanche\u201d to reveal to the world his personal selection from these treasures.<\/p>\n Loiseau chose to dedicate his first Carte Blanche edition to a very special blend that is characteristic of R\u00e9my Martin. One particular cask from the Gensac-la-Pallue cellar truly embodied the spirit of the House, revealing harmonious notes of lilac and spicy notes of nutmeg. The remarkable long finish, with intense aromas of leather, incense and black tea, has given life to this powerful and refined cognac.<\/p>\n These eaux-de-vie were bottled at the percentage proof occurring naturally in their cask to preserve their original attributes and to create a cognac of exceptional aromatic strength and finesse, the embodiment of the house style of R\u00e9my Martin Fine Champagne Cognac.<\/p>\n R\u00e9my Martin only uses grapes from the most sought-after growing regions, or crus – the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, together called the Fine Champagne. These crus are characterised by exceptionally chalky soil, which retains water, reflects light and ripens the grapes to absolute perfection.<\/p>\n These subtleties in flavour are recognised by French law. Fine Champagne Cognac, made exclusively from eaux-de-vie of the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne, is the only blend of two crus protected by the AOC, the Appellation d\u2019Origine Contr\u00f4l\u00e9e.<\/p>\n R\u00e9my Martin Limited Edition Carte Blanche n\u00b01 is presented in the traditional yet contemporary \u201cCharentes\u201d bottle and encased in an elegant coffret that assures its position among the premium craft spirits.<\/p>\n Just 7,000 numbered bottles of Carte Blanche n\u00b01 have been created and are available exclusively at DFS, Singapore Changi Airport, from 15 April at a recommended price of US$400.<\/p>\n From 1 June, Carte Blanche n\u00b01 will be rolled out in DFS stores at Hong Kong International Airport<\/a>, Los Angeles International Airport<\/a>, New York John F. Kennedy International Airport<\/a> and San Francisco International Airport<\/a>, where it will remain exclusive to DFS until the end of October when distribution will be extended to selected domestic markets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n DFS Group Senior Vice President Wines, Spirits and Tobacco Brooke Supernaw commented, \u201cDFS has a long history of cultivating and curating exceptional products, so we were thrilled to partner with R\u00e9my Cointreau to bring our customers first access to the extraordinary R\u00e9my Martin Carte Blanche \u00e0 Baptiste Loiseau.
