Many of us would agree that cognac and chocolate are among the most luxurious, most decadent pleasures in life. The Maison of Rémy Martin, the legendary cognac maker, has now enhanced the guilty pleasures manifold by enticing a select band of guests in Hong Kong to experience the first-ever pairing of &nbsp;Rémy Martin XO &amp; La Maison du Chocolat.

Nothing less than a match made in a gourmand&#8217;s heaven, this unique marriage brings together the opulence of Rémy Martin XO, the ‘Holy Grail’ of extra-old cognacs, with designer chocolate by Parisian haute couture chocolate house La Maison du Chocolat.
The immersive experience transports guests to cloud nine, with its explosion of flavours and fragrance, allowing us to explore the nuances of each taste profile a little deeper – from the floral, fruity, spicy, even slightly smoky flavours of the Rémy Martin XO to the slightly bitter, yet delicately sweet notes of the gourmet chocolates from La Maison du Chocolat. The result is a sensory symphony that&#8217;s gleefully decadent and spiritually elevating at the same time.

The House of Rémy Martin&#8217;s International Brand Ambassador Florian Hériard Dubreuil, who was in Hong Kong especially to facilitate the pairing session, explains the unique idea, saying: &#8220;From growing fruits to perfecting their subtle aromas, both cognac and chocolate are created in unexpectedly similar ways, developing complementary flavour profiles. Chocolate pairing especially enhances the roasted dry fruits and cocoa facet of Rémy Martin XO’s aromatic spectrum.”

Iconic French cognac house Rémy Martin has just unveiled the prestigious Rémy Martin X.O. Cannes 2017 Limited Edition in Hong Kong in an exclusive event titled ‘Opulence Revealed’.
Originally launched as a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival, the cognac went on to become a runaway success in France, the US, the UK, China and Taiwan before being released in Hong Kong.
Limited to just 300 bottles in the Hong Kong market, the Rémy Martin X.O. Cannes 2017 cognac is strictly elite. Justifying the letters X.O. – extra old – the cognac has been aged for three decades using only the best-quality grapes from the Fine Champagne region of France.
Blended from up to 400 aged eaux-de-vie, the cognac creates a perfect balance of exquisite and refined notes. The rich amber colour, together with the fragrant aromas of jasmine, plum, figs, candied orange, cinnamon and hazelnuts, create a beautiful anticipation even before the first sip. Surprisingly, the Rémy Martin X.O. cognac is quite light on the palate and can be paired with any kind of protein.
The decanter is equally delightful to behold – a beauty in black and gold, reminiscent of film reels and with a gift box that also includes a film on the cellar masters and the craft of cognac-making.

Opulence Revealed: Rémy Martin’s newest X.O. cognac unveiled in Hong Kong

<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-13055-2" width="640" height="360" autoplay="1" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="http://www.igafencu.com/video/1612/New_Remy%20XO_Sebastien%20Ripari.mp4?_=2" /><a href="http://www.igafencu.com/video/1612/New_Remy%20XO_Sebastien%20Ripari.mp4">http://www.igafencu.com/video/1612/New_Remy%20XO_Sebastien%20Ripari.mp4</a></video></div>

Remy Martin XO is more than just a cognac. Drinkers are taken on a sensory journey with every sip as an explosion of fragrances  – white flowers, fruits and spice – delights the senses.
The cognac also brings the palate to life with notes of fresh, ripe plum, mature fig and crystallised orange that merge with a hint of cinnamon and freshly ground hazelnuts, with a note of woody tobacco. 
This superlative journey for the taste buds has taken Remy Martin decades to perfect.
The fine champagne cognac is steeped in history, dating back to 1724 when Rémy Martin, a young winegrower in Cognac, started selling cognac under his own name. In 1830 the first Remy Martin Grande Champagne Cognac was created. 
Over the years the brand evolved and surged in popularity, which led to the creation of Rémy Martin XO in 1981. 
Today, the cognac continues to push boundaries. So it is no surprise that people like Sebastien Ripari, culinary consultant/writer/mixologist/poet, are drawn to Rémy Martin XO.
“There is unmistakably a link between gastronomy, as I perceive it, ambitious and revelatory, and XO cognac,” said Ripari. 
“Before sampling, I vow to revel in the sumptuous details that are released once the bottle is opened. They take me on a subtle and sophisticated sensory journey: voluptuous, yet beautifully harmonious. A dish is the perfect balance of a multitude of products. XO is the perfect balance of a multitude of eaux-de-vie, a singular aromatic variety creating an ideal and elegant equilibrium.”
