An official supplier of the Cannes Film Festival, Rémy Martin is pulling out all the stops for the event this year. For the first time, Rémy Martin is launching a special edition of its XO Excellence cognac honoring the cinematic arts.  One of Remy Martin‘s most prestigious cognacs, XO Excellence is an aromatic combination of floral, fruit and spice notes.  Just as sumptuous as the cognac itself, the decanter for this special edition has a gold coating from its base to its stopper. And, in homage to the Cannes Film Festival, the cognac maker has decorated the neck and label with a subtle black and gold motif echoing a strip of film.  The special edition comes in a gold and black gift box in which the decanter sits atop a red carpet pedestal.  Rémy Martin, one of the world’s most respected cognac brands, transforms grapes from the Grande and Fine Champagne zones into delicate spirits that are prized by aficionados around the world, and particularly in China.

Beyonce – XO

Back in August, Beyoncé sent fans into a frenzy after she was spotted shooting a music video at Brooklyn’s Coney Island amusement park. Well here is the visual and it’s for her sexy, lover’s lullaby song, “XO.” In the Terry Richardson-directed clip, Queen B is seen having a great time with friends as she dances, rides roller coasters and go carts, and enjoys the scenery. “XO,” produced by The-Dream, Ryan Tedder, Hit-Boy, and Beyoncé, has an airy and freeing vibe.

The Martell Liquor Trunk.


The House of Martell has launched The Martell Trunk made in collaboration with Pinel & Pinel, the renowned French luxury malletier.  This journey of the senses takes place against the gently lit backdrop of the leatherlined compartments and drawers, offering the Martell Collection such as Cordon Bleu, XO, or L’Or de Jean Martell.  Furthermore, Martell has endowed this trunk with twenty-eight montres that contain the most unique and exclusive blends.  In the company of crystal glasses and decanters, rare scented candles and a cigar humidor, the trunk holds all of the noblest companions to the tasting of cognac.  Last but not least, the trunk contains a small blue leather-bound booklet – The Cellar Master’s Notebook – which contains all the handwritten tasting notes of Martell’s Cellar Master, Benoît Fil.  As an ‘avid alcohol connoisseur’, this might just be something to save up for.
