Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal Cognac
Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal is a benchmark Fine Champagne Cognac crafted to commemorate the royal reward granted to Rémy Martin by King Louis XV of France in 1738. Blended from eaux-de-vie originating exclusively from the premier Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, it delivers a complex profile marked by toasted brioche, plum jam, spiced butterscotch, dark cocoa, and a velvety-smooth finish.
Why 1738 Accord Royal Surpasses Standard V.S.O.P.
Extended Aging Profile: Standard V.S.O.P. requires a minimum maturation of 4 years. In contrast, 1738 incorporates eaux-de-vie aged up to 20 years (with a much higher average age), serving as a true bridge between V.S.O.P. freshness and X.O. richness.
Bespoke Toasted Oak Casks: While typical V.S.O.P. is aged in traditional casks, 1738 is finished in heavily toasted French Limousin oak barrels. This specific toast endows the spirit with signature notes of brioche, vanilla, toasted hazelnut, and dark chocolate.
100% Fine Champagne Terroir: Unlike standard VSOPs that may blend grapes from lower-tier regions, 1738 uses 100% Fine Champagne eaux-de-vie. This guarantees a denser aromatic concentration, superior aging capacity, and exceptional depth.
Palate Weight & Texture: Standard V.S.O.P. tends to be lighter, more fruit-driven, and vibrant. 1738 delivers a noticeably thicker, more unctuous mouthfeel with a lingering, warm oak spice that stands up far better when sipped neat or over ice.
