Rémy Martin Tercet
The cognac that doesn't behave like cognac: bold, fresh and intensely fruity, at 42%. Made by three experts together, and just as good in a Sidecar or French 75 as neat over ice.
Three experts, one blend
Tercet refers to a trio. The cognac was created through the collaboration of Rémy Martin's master distiller, winemaker and cellar master, who each brought their own expertise to the blend, with Baptiste Loiseau's original vision as the starting point. The result is a Cognac Fine Champagne that is fresh, bold and intensely fruity, with a surprisingly long finish.
Two things make it different from the rest of the house. It is bottled at 42% instead of 40%, and according to the brand, made with a special yeast. While the 1738 and the XO are about maturity and oak, Tercet is about fresh fruit and spices. That makes it the Rémy Martin cognac that stands up best to ice and citrus.
In brief
Fresh fruit with a spicy edge
Fresh fruit
An intensely fruity nose, fresher than you might expect from cognac, with a light touch of spices.
Lively and soft
Bold and fresh, with juicy fruit and spices. The 42% ABV gives it power, while the texture remains soft.
Surprisingly long
A long finish in which the fruit and spice alternate. That very length makes it shine in cocktails.
Tasting profile of Rémy Martin Tercet neat. Over ice, it becomes fresher and the fruit comes through even more.
Three ways to serve Tercet
Tercet is the cognac for those who want to mix cognac. Ice, citrus and bubbles aren't a waste here - they're exactly the point.
On the rocks
50 ml Tercet over a large ice cube in a tumbler, with a thin strip of lemon zest. The cold makes the fruit even fresher and softens the 42% ABV.
Tumblers →Sidecar
50 ml Tercet, 25 ml Cointreau and 25 ml lemon juice, shaken hard with ice and strained into a chilled coupe. Tercet's fruitiness makes it livelier than with a VSOP.
View the recipe →Cognac highball
40 ml Tercet in a highball glass filled with ice, topped up with 120 ml chilled soda or ginger ale. Stir once and add an orange wedge.
Highball glasses →Fresh cognac cocktails for Tercet
Shaken, sparkling citrus cocktails where Tercet's fruitiness does the work.
Sidecar
Cognac, Cointreau and lemon with a sugared rim. Tercet makes it fresher and fruitier.
French 75 with cognac
Cognac, lemon and sugar, topped up with champagne. Tercet gives it extra fruitiness.
Champagne Cocktail
A sugar cube with bitters, a splash of cognac and chilled champagne. Simple and celebratory.
Cognac Julep
Mint, sugar and crushed ice, with Tercet instead of bourbon. Cold, refreshing and fruity.The right glass for Rémy Martin Tercet
A tumbler for drinking on the rocks, a coupe for a Sidecar and French 75, a highball glass for the highball, and a cognac glass for tasting it neat.
