Rémy Martin, artist Xue Song collaborate on Lunar New Year gift set

The House of Rémy Martin announces a partnership with renowned Chinese artist Xue Song to ring in Lunar New Year. Drawing on the Year of the Horse, Song reimagines Rémy Martin's iconic Centaur for a limited-edition XO gift set, creating a spirited tie between the House's emblem and this Lunar New Year's equine energy, it says.
In celebration of the new year, Song has fused collage and Chinese ink to create his new artwork exclusively for the House. Inspired by the Centaur, the Rémy Martin XO x Xue Song Lunar New Year gift set features the mythological creature leading a pack of horses into the future. The horse represents strength, speed, and perseverance in the Chinese zodiac, while the Centaur connects the earth and skies, with its feet on the ground and head looking into the stars.
Entitled “The Centaur is Paving the Way,” Song’s Lunar New Year masterpiece is meticulously built from depictions of Rémy Martin's history to showcase the herd of five horses led by the Rémy Martin Centaur.
The hooved creatures race over an auspicious red backdrop, surrounded by bamboo shoots announcing the arrival of spring and vitality through clouds, over rivers of water, with the earth representing Rémy Martin's prized winegrowing terroir in Petite and Grande Champagne in Cognac. Guided by the Centaur’s sparkling golden javelin, the herd gallops upwards toward the sky, embodying the House motto, “Feet on the ground, head in the stars.”
The energy and symbolism of Song's painting brings Rémy Martin XO a festive update. Spirited stallions race behind the golden Centaur on the front of the highly detailed gift box, embossed in glowing metallics against Xue Song's vibrant red collage. The box slides open to reveal the gift inside, set within a mythical landscape of clouds, bamboo and rocks. The limited-edition XO decanter and neck collar are decorated with Xue Song’s freshly rendered golden Centaur and colorful elements of his painting, creating an instant collectible to be enjoyed for years to come.
The Rémy Martin Lunar New Year Collection 2026 will is available in select points of sale at the recommended retail price of $209.99.
