✨ Technical Specifications
Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal is a celebrated Fine Champagne Cognac that pays homage to a landmark moment in spirits history. In 1738, King Louis XV of France granted Rémy Martin a rare royal decree (the Accord Royal) to plant new vineyards, recognizing the exceptional quality of his cognacs during a time of strict nationwide planting restrictions. Crafted from a blend of eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, this expression is dominated by Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the region's chalky, mineral-rich soils. The spirit undergoes traditional double-distillation on the lees in small copper stills before maturing in toasted French Limousin oak casks. This specific toasting process imparts a remarkably smooth, round texture with rich notes of butterscotch, baked figs, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1724 by winegrower Rémy Martin, Maison Rémy Martin stands as an essential pillar of Cognac viticulture and distillation history. Based in the town of Cognac within the Charente department, the house is renowned for crafting Fine Champagne Cognac, sourcing exclusively from the chalk-dominant, porous Cretaceous limestone soils of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. These dual premier crus yield exceptional acidity and aromatics, ideally suited for prolonged maturation. Distillation occurs traditionally on the fine lees in small copper Charentais pot stills, producing eaux-de-vie of notable depth, opulence, and structural longevity. Maturation takes place in fine-grained French Limousin oak casks, overseen today by Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau. The estate and its partner cooperative, Alliance Fine Champagne, adhere to rigorous Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE Level 3) sustainable certifications. Celebrated benchmarks include the venerable Louis XIII, Rémy Martin XO, and 1738 Accord Royal, embodying layered notes of dried fruit, candied citrus, jasmine, and refined rancio.
