Tasting review by Renault Cognac:
Appearance: Rich amber with a nice shine.
Aromas and flavors: Toasted wood and grey pepper. Powerful with ripe fruit notes, raisin, chocolate, and vegetal hint.
Texture and finish: Well-structured, wood and prunes, full-bodied, slightly spicy (cinnamon).
This is an iconic cognac, created in 1876. This means that the Renault Carte Noire Extra Old Cognac is one of the oldest recipies still in use today. And it's blended in the same way as it was all those centuries ago. Made from eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois, it's carefully blended to showcase the best of what each of these terroirs has to offer. For instance, the Fine Champagne cognacs provide the roundness, smoothness, and length of finish you'd expect from the regions, whereas the Fins Bois cognacs bring fruitiness, flower tones, and a touch of spice.
Renault Carte Noire Extra Old remains, thanks to the longevity of it's recipe, a reference point for quality amongst cognac connoisseurs worldwide.
The house of Renault Cognac (sometimes referred to as Renault & Co Cognac) has a history that can be traced back to 1835. The house was founded by one Jean-Antonin Renault at the tender age of 25. Mr Renault came from a long line of Charentais merchants, and living in the centre of the town of Cognac it made sense that he moved into the production of eaux-de-vie.
