The third release in Louis Royer’s “Carnet de Cave” series comes from a single estate: Domaine du Ménis in the heart of Grande Champagne. Each eau-de-vie in the blend meets the XO minimum of ten years in cask, and the spirit is bottled at 44 % vol in 50 cl format. 100 % Grande Champagne grapes and humid riverside ageing give a bright fruit core wrapped in patisserie-style depth.
A tall, slim bottle with a high, narrow neck is sealed by a natural cork and a paper strip printed “Louis Royer”. The cream, notebook-style label shows the house bee emblem and the line “Carnet de Cave n°3”; beneath it, a vivid orange wrap-around band carries the large “XO” statement. A smaller information panel near the base notes cru, cask and bottling details. The bottle sits in a natural-finish wooden case, laser-etched with the bee, cocoa pods and hazelnut leaves, plus an orange band repeating “XO”.
Enjoy neat in a tulip glass at room temperature. Allow two minutes for brioche and chocolate aromas to develop. A small ice cube softens the mocha finish for warmer evenings, while a dash of chilled soda creates an easy highball. Pair with dark-chocolate truffles or an almond-orange cake.
Famous for its bee emblem, Cognac Louis Royer traces its history back to the year 1853 and is known for a wide range of quality cognacs and Pineau. Creating cognacs from all six terroirs of the Cognac growing region, the offices and cellars of Louis Royer remain in the town of Jarnac on the banks of the Charente River where they were set up over 150 years ago. Very much continuing with the traditional methods championed by the cognac house’s name sake, Louis Royer boasts five generations of family experience and skill that continue to produce a full range of cognacs distributed on a world wide scale.
