In recognition of 2026 as the Year of the Horse, the House of Rémy Martin has partnered with renowned contemporary Chinese artist Xue Song to release a limited-edition 'Rémy Martin XO' collection. The collaboration underscores the Maison’s dedication to cultural appreciation and artistic innovation.
Xue Song, listed among the 2024 Hurun Top 100 Chinese Artists, is celebrated for his vibrant collage technique that integrates traditional themes with modern aesthetics. For this project, "he created an original artwork featuring the Centaur—Rémy Martin’s emblem—leading a herd of horses, a portrayal intended to symbolize perseverance, collective strength, and forward motion."
This artwork informs the design of the limited-edition XO gift box and decanter, both embellished with golden accents derived from the painting. The result reflects the energy and optimism associated with the Year of the Horse, while embodying Rémy Martin’s enduring spirit of aspiration and craftsmanship.
