{"product_id":"remy-martin-1738-royale","title":"Remy Martin 1738 Accord Royal Cognac","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal is a Fine Champagne Cognac named for the year King Louis XV of France granted a royal privilege to Rémy Martin in recognition of the quality of his wines and spirits — distinguishing it as the house's tribute to a moment of royal endorsement that no other cognac producer can claim, matured in specially toasted French oak casks that produce the warm, rich, and creamy profile that sets it apart from the standard VSOP.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1738 Accord Royal was created to fill a specific gap in the Rémy Martin range: between the approachable VSOP and the more complex XO, a cognac with the warmth and richness that extra oak treatment develops but without the full complexity of extended aging. The toasted French oak casks used for 1738 differ from the standard Limousin oak used across most Rémy Martin aging — toasting caramelizes the wood's inner surface, releasing additional vanilla, caramel, and toffee compounds that transfer to the cognac more readily than the slower extraction from untoasted wood. The result is a rounder, warmer, and more immediately generous character than the standard VSOP at a similar age. Fine Champagne designation requires the blend to contain at least 50% Grande Champagne, the premier Cognac cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generous figs, baked spices, and toffee from the toasted oak — warmer and more immediately expressive than standard VSOP\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round and creamy texture — the toasted oak's caramelized wood compounds producing vanilla, toffee, and dried fig richness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally round and creamy — the oak character persisting warmly through a long close\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rémy Martin, Cognac, France (est. 1724)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine Champagne Cognac VSOP\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specially toasted French oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHistorical note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Named for the 1738 royal privilege granted by King Louis XV\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cognac\"\u003eCognac at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What makes 1738 different from standard Rémy Martin VSOP?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Toasted French oak casks — toasting caramelizes the wood's inner surface, releasing vanilla, caramel, and toffee compounds more readily than untoasted Limousin oak.
