Description

Louis Royer Carnet de Cave No.4: An Exceptional Imperial Cognac Aged for at Least 20 Years

An Exclusive Release from Maison Louis Royer

The Louis Royer Carnet de Cave No.4 Imperial Cognac is an ultra-limited release showcasing the house's expertise in selecting and blending mature eaux-de-vie.

Founded in 1853 in Jarnac, Maison Louis Royer has developed a long-standing reputation for producing elegant Cognacs with distinctive aromatic personalities.

The Carnet de Cave collection highlights exceptional expressions chosen for their individuality and quality.

Its fourth release focuses on the complexity and finesse achieved through prolonged maturation.

A Blend of Cognacs Aged for a Minimum of Twenty Years

Carnet de Cave No.4 is made from a blend of Cognac eaux-de-vie, each aged for at least twenty years.

This is an important distinction: the release is a carefully constructed blend rather than a single-cask bottling.

The extended ageing period allows the spirits to develop aromatic complexity through their interaction with oak.

The blending process brings together complementary characteristics, creating a harmonious and expressive final Cognac.

The Heritage of Louis Royer

Louis Royer established his Cognac house in Jarnac in 1853.

A cellar master and passionate beekeeper, he selected the bee as the company's emblem.

The house continues to draw on its expertise in distillation, maturation, selection and blending.

Its historic cellars near the River Charente provide favourable natural conditions for the gradual ageing of Cognac eaux-de-vie.

Tasting Notes: Spice and Cedarwood

The aromatic profile of Carnet de Cave No.4 is particularly distinguished by its spicy character.

Black pepper brings lively intensity, while clove and nutmeg contribute warming, complex notes.

A delicate hint of cedarwood enhances the bouquet, reflecting the influence of oak maturation.

The palate is refined and expressive, combining aromatic depth with an elegant structure.

The finish is notably persistent, allowing the spicy and woody characteristics to linger.

Serving Recommendations

Bottled at 45% ABV, Louis Royer Carnet de Cave No.4 is best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped tasting glass.

Serve at approximately room temperature and allow a few minutes for the aromas to develop.

Its spicy character may complement dark chocolate or desserts featuring nuts and warm spices.

An Elegant Collector's Cognac

Presented in a wooden gift box, this 50cl release is particularly suited to enthusiasts of mature Cognac and collectors seeking distinctive limited editions.

Its minimum twenty-year ageing and carefully balanced spice profile make it a fine example of the blending expertise of Maison Louis Royer.
