COGNAC 1805 RENAULT & CO
Jean Antonin Renault, a 25-year-old Charentais businessman, created Renault Cognac in the town of Cognac in 1835. He enjoyed a reputation as an innovator who appreciated true quality. Renault was the first cognac maker to ship his cognac in bottles which guaranteed that the brandy kept its original taste and delicate flavors.
Renault was a great voyager, and he started to sell cognac during his travels to Scandinavia, Germany, Eastern Europe, Iceland, the Americas, and Asia. Renault combines high-quality standards with a long tradition, and today all Renault Cognacs are still produced in the spirit of Jean Antonin Renault. After the harvest and vinification, the wines are double distilled in keeping with this special distillation process. Excellence, according to Renault & Co, means that they control the whole production from grape growing to bottle.
From the beginning, Renault Cognac 1805 has been made in keeping with true Charente tradition. Only the heart of the distillate is kept to make up eaux-de-vie which comes from the best crus (growing areas) of Cognac, slowly mature in the dark cellar, waiting until the right conditions are bottled to create a product that is sophisticated and maintains the brand’s tradition throughout the years.
