Remy Martin V.S.O.P

Remy Martin 1738 Accord Royal Cognac is a Fine Champagne cognac from France with 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) and 80 proof. This expression is produced by Remy Cointreau and is formulated from a blend of uniquely oaky eaux-de-vie sourced from the prestigious Petite and Grande Champagne growing regions. Its name commemorates a historic milestone in 1738 when King Louis XV of France granted the house royal permission to plant new vineyards as a reward for the outstanding quality of their spirits. What makes it special is the use of toasted oak barrels during aging, which impart an exceptionally round, mellow character. This traditional craftsmanship creates a cognac that sits between the VSOP and XO categories, offering a regal appearance and an authentic connection to French terroir.The focus on high-quality distillation and carefully selected wood results in a distinctive smoothness and a creamy texture, making it a favorite among connoisseurs. The profile reveals a rich and robust palate with prominent notes of butterscotch, baked spices, and a hint of dark chocolate. It is exceptionally round on the tongue and concludes with a long, creamy aftertaste. This versatile spirit is best enjoyed neat, over ice, or as the foundation for premium classic cocktails such as the Sidecar or Sazerac, where its oaky notes pair beautifully with citrus.
