Rémy Martin has unveiled a limited-editions cognac collection honoring the legacy and influence of Hip-Hop culture.
According to a press release, the V.S.O.P. “This is My City” limited-editions collection features four unique bottle designs, each paying homage to iconic cities and their distinctive influence on contemporary culture: Atlanta, pushing boundaries; Chicago, home of lyrical legends; Detroit, the birthplace of Motown and resilient beats; and New York City, the birthplace of Hip-Hop.
Along with launching the collection, Rémy Martin introduced its inaugural “This is My City” microgrant initiative to support emerging creatives contributing to their local culture and communities through entrepreneurship.
Emphasis will be placed on recipients whose work shapes conversations within their industry and community, pushes boundaries, and displays originality and authenticity.
The regional microgrant initiative will award $20,000 grants and one-on-one mentorship from industry experts to emerging creatives in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, and New York City.
Each mentor will be an established figure in their field — whether in music, art, or culture — who embodies their city’s innovative spirit and cultural legacy, the press release notes.
Applications will close on April 11, 2025 at 6 p.m. EST. Then the grant honorees will be announced in June 2025.
“As we celebrate the launch of the V.S.O.P This is My City limited-edition collection, we are proud to honor the local talent, culture, and legacies that have shaped these iconic cities and continue to inspire the future,” said Vice President of Luxury Brands, Rémy Cointreau Americas Tonia Mancino in a press release. “Through our microgrant initiative, we are furthering Rémy Martin’s commitment to culture by empowering emerging creatives and supporting the innovation that drives these cities’ cultural evolution.”
