Lagos, Nigeria – 24 September 2025: Rémy Martin proudly unveils Rémy Martin VS Supérieur, a bold, expressive, and modern new cognac created exclusively for Africa. Launched in South Africa and Nigeria in September 2025, this rich and aromatic Very Special Supérieur cognac is a premium upgrade from the traditional VS.
Crafted from grapes sourced from the exclusive Petite Champagne cru—the heart of the Cognac region—Rémy Martin VS Supérieur undergoes extended ageing of three years in French oak casks (compared to the two-year minimum for standard VS under Cognac AOC regulations).
This launch marks the revival of a historic Rémy Martin label. Baptiste Loiseau, Cellar Master of the House, revisited and reimagined a classic blend tailored to today’s modern, social, and bold lifestyle. Perfect for house parties, lounges, or nightclubs, Rémy Martin VS Supérieur is highly versatile—best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed with pineapple juice, sparkling fruit beverages, lemonade, or tonic.
