Founding and History

The fifth generation of cellar masters continues to uphold the founding principles of quality and tradition, crafting Cognacs that balance strength and elegance. Today, Louis Royer is known globally, recognized for its consistent quality and wide range of expressions.

Style and Offerings

• Louis Royer Cognacs are renowned for their rich, full-bodied character, achieved through the careful selection of eaux-de-vie from the finest crus, particularly from the Grande and Petite Champagne regions. The house emphasizes long aging in French oak barrels, allowing the Cognacs to develop deep, complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, and oak.

• The house’s style is distinguished by its balance of power and finesse. The flavors are typically robust and expressive, yet there is a smoothness and harmony that makes Louis Royer Cognacs both approachable and sophisticated.
