The visit
The visit takes place by train. From the cooperage to the vineyards, from the ageing storehouses to the blending house, the visitors discover all the stages involved in producing cognac. In the largest cooperage in Europe, craftsmen make the barrels by hand using the heat of the fire to bend the wood. Depending on the season, as the visitors pass through the vineyards, they see the vines being pruned, the leaves being thinned or the grapes being harvested
Then the train enters the storehouses. Smells of wood, spices, flowers mix and change over time. In the half-light lie 230,000 barrels.
Exclusive visits in the setting of the symbolic family estate can be arranged.

A long line of wine growers
At the end of the 17th century, the Martins were a family of wine growers in the Ccharente area. Their son Rémy discovered a taste for business and enterprise and founded his own cognac house in 1724. The Rémy Martin house is now known throughout the world. But it is still independent and remains faithful to its origins, its soil and its traditions.
