Aging process:
There are 240,000 barrels of "water of life" in 50 wine cellars in remy martin, and the age is over 65,438+0.50. It is because of such a rich wine cellar that remy martin can make the best cognac with rich flavor.
During the aging process, liquor "breathes" with the outside world through the pores of oak barrels, and nearly 3% of liquor volatilizes into the air in the process of "breathing" every year, which is called "angel's dedication".
The so-called wine age refers to the year when wine is aged in oak barrels. Once liquor leaves the oak barrel, the alcoholization process stops and the calculation of liquor age stops.
During the aging process, the liquor in the barrel will be continuously transferred and merged, thus completing the blending process. Therefore, aging and mixing are simultaneous processes. The proportion of each deployment is completed by the chief bartender.
