It is this ambiguous attitude that makes him popular. It is always talked about and argued about. No festive table is complete without a bottle of this magical drink. It harmoniously combines elegant nobility, aristocratic restraint and refined properties.

Among the many different types of cognac "Martin" is a real legend, created several centuries ago and has retained its popularity to this day.

History of cognac creation and brand development

The history of this exquisite taste began in 1724, when René Martin founded an alcohol company for the production of brandy and gave it his name.

Before René's success came, he spent a lot of time in the vineyards at home. Even then, he began to distill the remnants of grape wine into alcohol and receive the first money for it. By the age of 30, he was already able to earn himself a good fortune.

Cognac"Rene Martin" quickly won appreciation in secular circles. When Louis XV banned the expansion of vineyards in 1731, many owners suffered significant losses, and only Rene managed to get personal permission from the king to continue his business.

Until a very old age, Rene managed the company and only in 1773 handed over the leadership to his grandson - the full namesake of his grandfather. The younger Rene had foresight and subtly calculated all his affairs, so nothing threatened the business, he only grew and prospered. In 1789, hard times came for France, but this did not affect the success of the company, it continued to grow and multiply its income. The son of Remy Jr., also a namesake, continued to run the family business.

Further at the helm of the company was his son Paul-Emile Rene, thanks to whom the cognac "Martin" gained the widest popularity and its unique blend, which gave him worldwide fame.

Centaur - the world-famous symbol of the legendary drink

The symbol of the company is a rearing centaur. It was not in vain that Paul-Emile chose this symbol as the "face of the company", because even in ancient times centaurs were faithful companions of the god of winemaking Dionysus. The spear in the centaur's hand symbolizes the company's commitment to excellence.

Today this symbol is a guarantee of quality and impeccable taste. He is easily recognized among the many different logos and unconditionally trust him. Since 1870, the centaur emblem has been a mandatory distinguishing mark for all bottles of Martin cognac.

Legendary taste in a new incarnation

In 1874, the company expanded its range with a new amazing taste. Cognac "Remy Martin Louis 13" was created on the basis of spirits, the exposure of which was more than 100 years.

Especially for him, Paul-Emile developed a new original bottle with a unique design. She exactly repeated her prototype - a royal flask found in the battlefields of Catholics and Protestants during the reign of Louis XIII. The flask was decorated with heraldic lilies, which reminded her of her greatness and royal affiliation. Until now, cognac "Remy Martin Louis 13" is produced in these amazing bottles, which give it a special charm, secular nobility and royal charm.

New era in company development

In the 90s of the 19th century, France was struck by an epidemic of phylloxera. Paul-Emile believed to the end that he could save his vineyards from destruction, and even tried to develop new varieties that were resistant to the epidemic, but it was all in vain. In 1910, he had to sell part of his business to a young businessman, André Renault, who began to actively promote the company on the world market. After the death of Paul-Emile, his wife sold the rest of the Renault business, now he became the full owner of Remy Martin.
