Baptiste Loiseau is like an artist. But instead of paints, the cellar master of the House of Remy Martin creates art with his cognac blends. His palette is his palate and his nose, delicately sniffing and tasting eau-de-vie distilled from grapes from the finest crus in Cognac – Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne – in order to find the right ones to include in Remy Martin’s signature Fine Champagne Cognac expressions.

During an exclusive interview in Kuala Lumpur recently, Loiseau explained his creative process when creating a new cognac blend or expression.
