Remy Martin Rewards Exceptional Cognac Wine Growers for 2011

Thursday 31^st May saw the annual Remy Martin awards for those wine growers who provided eaux-de-vie of exceptional quality for the 2011 harvest.

This year, 32 growers of the grapes were presented with the awards known as The Centaure, in bronze, silver and gold levels.  This is a big reduction on last years’ 54 that were awarded, and Cellar Master, Pierrette Trichet, says it was simply to do with the quality of the vintage.

The awards were held at Club Rémy Martin, where each wine grower was called up to receive their award – in the form of a diploma.  After the award ceremony there was a tasting of the Rémy Martin Centaure de Diamant, and once again Pierrette Trichet praised the expertise of the wine growers of Cognac.
