The savoir-faire of Louis Royer
The knowledge and passion for the world of Cognac comes from the Royer family’s background in beekeeping. As budding nature enthusiasts, they drew their inspiration from the innovative ways that the bees gathered their pollen. In the same way that bees produced fine nectar, he selected the most treasured eaux-de-vie to assemble the Extra Cognac by Louis Royer. He wanted to replicate the hive work ethic in his maison; one where each stage of the Cognac making process was of paramount importance, and where each worker knew their role. Through commitment and teamwork, the elaboration of divine eaux-de-vie was realized. Since 1853, the Cognac house have therefore used the bee emblem to represent their work philosophy.
