St-Rémy has unveiled St-Rémy Signature, an innovative French brandy, set to roll out to additional new markets nationwide. Leveraging 130 years of heritage and expertise, St-Rémy Signature’s unique flavor adds flair, freshness and style to the category, while retaining its dedication to being 100% French from grapes to glass.
The launch of St-Rémy Signature is a natural next step for the brand known as a pioneer in the field. The spirit has already been named “Brandy of the Year” at the 2021 London Spirits Competition and awarded Gold at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Crafted as an approachable brandy expression, St-Rémy Signature is the only French brandy that features a double aging process that includes both new virgin and traditional, seasoned oak casks to bring layers of smooth and oaky flavor to the forefront. The two-cask maturation imparts intense spiced notes and verve as well as balance and complexity, which makes for a versatile yet easy-to-drink flavor profile. The result is a unique, warm, subtle and smooth blend designed to delight palates and create moments of contentment.
Lending a unique approach to the process, St-Rémy Master Blender, Cécile Roudaut notes, “while respecting French brandy-making traditions, I have added a maturation stage in small virgin oak barrels, in addition to aging in traditional, seasoned oak casks, which in turn brought out a new kind of harmony that fans will have a chance to discover.” Adding, “as my first original creation, St-Rémy Signature brings to life distinct flavors from its signature liquid, making this launch even more special to me.”
St-Rémy Signature is bright amber in color with sweet aromas of vanilla, coconut, almond, and fresh fruits on the nose. Round and balanced on the palate, the virgin wood and spice notes are enriched with honey, nut, and butter flavors. Fruity aromas transform from fresh to candied while sweet spices bring strong roundness and balance.
St-Rémy Signature is best enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a unique base for classic cocktails, such as the French Old Fashioned. To mix-up this cocktail, place one brown sugar cube and three dashes of bitters into a rocks glass and muddle it. Next, pour two ounces of St-Rémy Signature into the glass, add ice cubes, and stir with a bar spoon for 10 seconds. Lastly, press orange zest above the drink and garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry. The expression is also perfect for traditional brandy cocktails such as the Manhattan and Signature Dry.
St-Rémy Signature is rolling-out in markets across the United States, including California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin, with a suggested retail price of $29.99 per 750ml bottle. St-Rémy Signature joins an award-winning brandy portfolio alongside St-Rémy XO and VSOP.
