Remy Martin 1738 Accord Royal is a Fine Champagne cognac that sits in the heart of the house range, positioned above the flagship VSOP and below XO. Its name commemorates a moment in the maison's history: in 1738, King Louis XV of France granted Remy Martin a royal recognition of excellence, an Accord Royal that authorized the planting of new vines at a time when this was otherwise forbidden. That heritage gives the bottle its regal, parchment styled presentation and gold detailing. Like the broader Remy Martin portfolio, 1738 carries the Fine Champagne designation, meaning it is blended only from Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne eaux de vie, the two most prestigious growing areas in Cognac, with the majority drawn from Grande Champagne. The blend brings together a large library of eaux de vie aged across a wide span of years and matured in toasted French oak, which lends the cognac its signature oak forward character. The result pours a shimmering copper and opens with generous plum and fig marmalade on the nose, rounded by toffee, brioche and toasted bread. The palate leans into mellow spiced butterscotch with hints of dark chocolate, and the finish is exceptionally round and creamy with concentrated nutty aromas. Smooth yet rich, it works beautifully neat, over ice, or as the backbone of an elevated cocktail like a sidecar, sazerac or a cognac forward espresso martini. Presented here with its gift tube, 1738 Accord Royal makes a refined sipping cognac and an easy gift for anyone who appreciates depth and craftsmanship in the glass. For a step up in richness from an everyday pour, this is a rewarding choice.
