Rémy Martin marks tercentenary at Stone Quarries in Zhejiang

Overview On January 31, Rémy Martin held a grand launch event at the Stone Quarries in Jinyun, Zhejiang province, to mark the prestigious cognac producer's 300th anniversary and unveil a historic and limited-edition release crafted by Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau. Dubbed the 300th Anniversary Coupe, this exclusive blend of exceptional eaux-de-vie stands as a testament to Rémy Martin's legacy. The French firm transformed No. 8 Quarry into a captivating “study room," featuring platforms of varying heights. It also unveiled an artistic installation, titled "The Momentum of Life," a collaborative masterpiece with renowned artist Tan Zhipeng. Netizens’ reactions The launch event garnered significant organic traction on social media, though Rémy Martin has not posted related content via its official channels. Invited guests marveled at the historical and natural splendor of the location, as well as the exquisite presentation of the 300th Anniversary Coupe. Verdict This year is a pivotal juncture for Rémy Martin, which, buoyed by the stellar performance of its parent company, Remy Cointreau, is marking three centuries of excellence in cognac-making. In January, Remy Cointreau's share price climbed at the steepest rate in over two decades, driven by optimism on the Chinese and American markets. Despite challenges, including a 33.9 percent drop in sales of the company's cognac business on an organic basis in Q3 2023, Rémy Cointreau anticipates sales growth in the APAC region. However, this optimism is tempered by a slower-than-expected post-Covid economic recovery in China. Highlighting Rémy Martin's strategic initiatives in China, the financial report for Q3 2023 underscores the success of the brand’s recent marketing endeavors. Notably, the Rémy Martin Club campaign, featuring esteemed Chinese actor Xian Li as brand spokesperson, has resonated well with local audiences. Additionally, the debut of Blossoms Shanghai, a television series directed and produced by the acclaimed Wong Kar-wai, which prominently showcases Rémy Martin XO, has further solidified the brand's foothold in the Chinese market. With a steadfast commitment to excellence and an unwavering dedication to its discerning Chinese consumer base, Rémy Martin is poised for sustained, organic growth in the foreseeable future.
