Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal Cognac Fine Champagne, France

Named after the Royal Recognition granted by King Louis XV to Maison Rémy Martin in 1738, authorising the planting of new vines at a time when this was strictly forbidden in France, the 1738 Accord Royal is a Fine Champagne Cognac blending over 240 eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne (65%) and Petite Champagne (35%) crus. Aged between 4 and 20 years with a notable proportion of new French oak barrels, it sits boldly between a VSOP and an XO in character: more complex and oaky than the former, more accessible than the latter.

Nose: plum, fig marmalade, toffee and toasted bread.
Palate: rich and velvety, with butterscotch, baked spices, caramel and a hint of dark chocolate.
Finish: long, warm and well-balanced, with lingering nutty and oaky notes. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Sidecar.

ABV: 40%
Volume: 700ml
