AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE
In April 2024, to coincide with its 300th anniversary, the Rémy Martin House in the heart of Cognac reopened its doors to the public. Transformed after 3 years of renovation, and as part of a more global project on the Rémy Martin Estates leaded by INCA Architectes agency, the tour invites visitors on an extraordinary journey through three centuries of history. A 500m² permanent exhibition featuring 250 objects and documents from the archives recounts the family saga through cultural events dating back to its foundation in 1724. An immersive multimedia scenography split on 3 different levels brings key moments in the history of Rémy Martin to life, such as the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, or the meal served to British monarchs in the Hall of Mirrors in 1938. Inspirational artworks act as guides throughout the years: authentic 18th century engravings, a 1930s poster by Robert Wolf, iconic ‘60s reportage and a contemporary mobile by Charles Kaisin featuring 1,724 gilded centaurs.
At the core of the exhibition is the Centaur Gallery which explores the iconography of the Centaur from the 17th century to the present day. Chosen by Paul-Emile Rémy Martin as the emblem of the House in 1870, this room houses a rare collection of related masterpieces, including original works by major artists of the 20th century.
The House offers 3 digital art experiences too: one pays tribute to the rich world of Rémy Martin cognacs through a swirling, unfurling, interactive show in a room equipped with 8 screens behind two-way mirrors and niches displaying the bottles. Another is reserved for LOUIS XIII and the third takes place in the 19th century Francis Cellar: through projections on the barrels and the cathedral ceiling, visitors are plunged into all the stages of cognac production, from vine to glass: a 5-minute sound and light extravaganza.
The historic Rémy Martin House tour is an exceptional, unforgettable experience. A cultural and educational voyage that leaves every visitor inspired, charged with emotions and rich with new discoveries.
