Remi Landier 40ieme Anniversaire
Only 2 left in stock!
Remi Landier 40ieme Anniversaire is a French cognac with a clear anniversary identity. The name itself sets it apart from a regular house bottling, placing it in the context of a 40th anniversary release rather than an everyday reference.
Bottled at 45%, it carries a little more strength than many cognacs presented at a more standard level. No detailed tasting description is provided in the product data, so the most meaningful way to frame it is as a cognac with a slightly firmer presentation in the glass.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, bottles like this are appreciated for the specific place they occupy within the cognac selection: not necessarily defined by a long technical story, but by their occasion, origin and limited availability. The note that these are (…)Remi Landier Heritage N°2

Remi Landier Heritage N°2
Very last one in stock!
Remi Landier Heritage N°2 is a French cognac with a quiet, specialist appeal in the Drankenshop Broekmans range. The name identifies it as the Heritage N°2 release from Remi Landier, although the supplied information does not provide further background on its production or maturation.
What is clear is the bottling strength of 45% ABV. That gives the cognac a confident position on paper, while any detailed description of aroma or flavour is deliberately avoided here because no official tasting notes have been supplied.
With only the last bottles remaining, this is mainly one to consider for anyone specifically looking for Remi Landier Heritage N°2 while it is still available.

Remi Landier Lot 62
Very last one in stock!
Remi Landier Lot 62 is a French cognac with a notably firm bottling strength of 52%. That strength gives it a more pronounced presence in the glass and makes it the kind of cognac to approach slowly, with a little time and attention.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this sits in the cognac selection as a more assertive Remi Landier release. The Lot 62 name gives the bottle a clearly defined identity within the range, without needing to dress it up with unnecessary claims.
With only the last bottles remaining, it is particularly relevant for anyone looking for this specific release or for a cognac with a stronger, more concentrated presentation.
No detailed tasting notes are supplied for Remi Landier Lot 62. The key sensory clue in the available (…)Remi Landier Special Pale

Remi Landier Special Pale
On request only
Remi Landier Special Pale is a French cognac with a straightforward identity: the Remi Landier name, a 45% bottling strength and the Special Pale designation at the centre of the bottle.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, bottles like this tend to interest customers who are looking beyond the most obvious cognac choices. Its popularity and the fact that only the last bottles remain give it a sense of limited availability without needing to overstate the point.
Rather than presenting it as a generic cognac, we would place it as a specific Remi Landier release for those who are deliberately looking for this name or want to take advantage of a remaining parcel while it is still in stock.
No specific tasting notes are provided for Remi Landier Special Pale. (…)Remi Landier Tres Vieux Grande Champagne

Remi Landier Tres Vieux Grande Champagne
Very last one in stock!
Remi Landier Très Vieux Grande Champagne is a French cognac whose name already tells much of the story: an older-style cognac carrying the Grande Champagne designation. Presented at 40% alcohol, it keeps the focus on origin, age impression and a restrained, classic identity.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a bottle for customers looking specifically for Remi Landier, or for a cognac with a Grande Champagne reference rather than a younger entry-level expression. The words Très Vieux give it a more contemplative feel, while the available information remains deliberately factual.
With only the last bottles remaining, this is no longer a cognac with broad shelf availability. That makes it a noteworthy choice for those who have this (…)Remi Landier Vitis Collection XO Micro Batch 2005 50cl

Remi Landier Vitis Collection XO Micro Batch 2005 50cl
In stock
Rémi Landier Vitis Collection XO Micro Batch 2005 is a Cognac with a very specific identity. The label brings together the XO designation, the Vitis Collection name, the 2005 reference and a micro batch release, giving it a more focused feel than a standard bottling.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, a Cognac like this sits naturally among bottles chosen for customers who enjoy releases with a little more individuality. The 50 cl format and 50% alcohol strength add to that sense of a compact, purposeful edition from France.
With only the last bottles remaining, this Rémi Landier has a more limited presence in the assortment. It is the kind of Cognac to consider when you are looking for something clearly defined, small-scale and a little less (…)Remi Landier XO

Remi Landier XO
Very last one in stock!
Rémi Landier XO is a French cognac with a straightforward identity: the Rémi Landier name, an XO expression and the cognac category clearly at the centre. Bottled at 40% alcohol, it sits at a familiar strength for this style of spirit.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this bottle mainly as a focused choice for customers specifically looking for Rémi Landier XO. No detailed background story or tasting description has been supplied for this batch, so we keep the presentation honest and concise. As these are the last bottles, it is not a cognac that will remain endlessly available in our range.
No specific tasting notes have been supplied for Rémi Landier XO in the available product information. For that reason, we do not add aromas, (…)Rémi Landier Très Vieux Du Chai Des Peres Fins Bois

Rémi Landier Très Vieux Du Chai Des Peres Fins Bois
Very last one in stock!
Rémi Landier Très Vieux Du Chai Des Peres Fins Bois is a French cognac whose name already tells an important part of the story: Rémi Landier, Fins Bois, and the Très Vieux indication. Rather than presenting itself as a broad, anonymous cognac, it points clearly towards origin and maturity.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we place in front of customers who enjoy looking a little deeper within cognac. The Fins Bois reference gives it a defined provenance, while Très Vieux frames it as a more mature expression.
Bottled at 40%, it stays within the classic cognac strength. As these are the last bottles in our range, availability is naturally limited.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about cognac
What is cognac?
Cognac is a French brandy made from white grapes and may only come from the Cognac region in France. It is double-distilled and then aged in oak barrels.
What is armagnac?
Armagnac comes from the Armagnac region, also in south-western France. Armagnac production began in the 14th century, making it the oldest brandy in France.
Like Cognac, Armagnac is made from white grapes, but here different grape varieties are often used, such as Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco Blanc. The main difference is in the distillation process: Armagnac is distilled in a continuous distillation column, resulting in a richer and more complex eau-de-vie with a higher alcohol content. After distillation, Armagnac matures in oak barrels. Armagnac is thus distilled once unlike cognac which is distilled twice at a lower temperature and has a higher alcohol content.
Armagnac has a more robust and powerful flavour profile than Cognac, with pronounced notes of dried fruits, plums, vanilla, and leather. Due to the single distillation, it retains more of the original grape flavours.
What is calvados?
Calvados originates from the region of Normandy in northern France. It has a long history dating back to the 16th century, and it is often considered a symbol of Norman culture.
Calvados is made from apples (and sometimes pears), unlike grapes for Cognac and Armagnac. The apples are pressed to make cider, which is then distilled. Distillation can take place once or twice, depending on the appellation. As with the other two drinks, the eau-de-vie then matures in oak barrels.
Calvados has a fresh and fruity character, with distinct apple and sometimes pear-like notes. After ageing, more complex flavours can develop, such as butterscotch, spices and nuts.
What is brandy?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
What is sherry?
Sherry is a fortified wine from southern Spain, more specifically around the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the region of Andalusia. The special feature of sherry is that wine alcohol is added during or after fermentation, increasing the alcohol content (usually around 15-20%) and also making the wine last longer.
There are different styles of sherry, each with its own character. Fino, for example, is light, dry and fresh (often with hints of almond and bread dough), while Oloroso is just richer, darker and nutty due to oxidative ageing. Amontillado is a bit in between: fresh under flor at first, then more complex through oxidation. On the sweet side, you have, for example, Pedro Ximénez (PX), an intensely sweet, syrupy sherry with flavours of sultanas and caramel.
Sherry is often underrated, but it is enormously versatile: from a fresh aperitif to a perfect companion with tapas, cheeses or even desserts. So it is not an "old people's drink", but just one of the most diverse and gourmet wine styles around.
What is Pineau Des Charentes?
Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine from the Charente region in southwestern France, the same area known for its cognac production. It is not a wine in the traditional sense, but a mistelle-adrink made by mixing fresh grape juice with cognac. This combination stops fermentation, preserving the natural sweetness of the grape juice and giving the drink its distinctive sweet, rich and aromatic profile.
Pineau des Charentes is available in both white and red varieties. White Pineau is made from white grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche, while the red variant derives its deep colour and fruity aromas from grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It has a unique flavour that is not directly comparable to other drinks, but it does share characteristics with some well-known fortified wines:
- Port: Like port, Pineau is sweet and fortified, but Pineau tends to be lighter and fruitier.
- Sherry (Pedro Ximénez or Amontillado): White Pineau sometimes has the honeyed sweetness of PX sherry, but with a fresher touch.
- Madeira: Due to aging in oak, Pineau shares certain nutty and caramel-like notes with madeira.
- Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise: For those who like sweet dessert wines with floral and fruity aromas, Pineau is an excellent alternative.
What do VS, VSOP and XO mean?
These are age indications for the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend. The older, the more complex and softer the flavour usually becomes.
-
VS (Very Special): aged for a minimum of 2 years
-
VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale): aged for a minimum of 4 years
-
XO (Extra Old): aged for a minimum of 10 years (used to be 6 years)
These age designations are officially regulated by the appellation. This is not the case with rum, for example, in most cases.
What is the difference between cognac, brandy, armagnac and calvados?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
Cognac must come from the Cognac region and be made from specific grapes. Armagnac, in turn, comes from the Armagnac region in south-western France and is also made from grapes. Finally, Calvados comes from the Calvados region in Normandy and, unlike the other two, is made from apples and pears.
There are also differences in terms of distillation and maturation: Cognac uses double distillation in alambics, Armagnac a single continuous distillation, and Calvados can undergo both single and double distillation. Cognac and Calvados must be aged for a minimum of two years, while for Armagnac it is at least one year.
How do you drink cognac?
There are several ways to enjoy cognac. Traditionally, it is drunk at room temperature from a tulip-shaped glass such as a snifter. With an ice cube, the aromas become less heavy and even in cocktails, cognac is on the rise.
Does cognac get even better in the bottle?
No, like most spirits, cognac also matures solely in the barrel. Once the cognac is bottled, the ageing also stops. So an old bottle of cognac does not automatically improve with age.
How long can an opened bottle of cognac keep?
An opened bottle of cognac undergoes the same process as other spirits. Usually, you can keep an opened bottle for a very long time, up to several years. But cognac can also be subject to oxidation, a natural process that is started and intensified as soon as there is too much air/oxygen in the bottle in relation to the spirit. To avoid this, it is best to transfer the cognac into a smaller, airtight bottle or fill the bottle with marbles to reduce the proportion of air in the bottle. Never use glass decanters with glass stoppers, as these do not seal airtight and therefore do not prevent the oxidation process.
Which grapes are used for cognac?
The main grape variety is Ugni Blanc. This is by far the most commonly used grape variety for cognac, and produces a fresh, acidic wine that is ideal for distilling. In addition, cognac can also be made from the Folle Blanche and Colombard grape varieties.
Where can I buy cognac?
You can even buy cognac in supermarkets these days. But if you are looking for a good cognac, one that is tasty, qualitative and layered, then Drankenshop Broekmans is the place to be. In our range, you will find more than 200 different cognacs in all possible price categories, from a basic "everyday cognac" to the most exclusive eau-de-vie.
