The Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal Year of the Snake Limited Edition is where craftsmanship meets art, and legacy meets renewal. Created in collaboration with acclaimed Chinese artist Huang Yuxing, this edition celebrates the wisdom, grace, and transformation embodied by the Year of the Snake. The decanter, reimagined in Huang’s vivid, dreamlike style, captures the fluidity of time and the flow of creative energy. Inside rests Rémy Martin’s beloved 1738 Accord Royal, a Cognac born from a royal decree granted by King Louis XV in 1738, a testament to excellence so profound, it was literally endorsed by the crown. This edition honors both that royal legacy and the cyclical beauty of new beginnings.
