Buy Renault Carte Noire Extra Old XO Cognac 750ml
Indulge in a masterpiece of French blending heritage with Renault Carte Noire Extra Old (XO) Cognac. Founded in 1835 by Jean Antonin Renault in the heart of Cognac, France, Maison Renault has maintained an unwavering commitment to quality for nearly two centuries. The iconic “Carte Noire” (Black Label) recipe—originally created in 1876—stands as one of the oldest and most respected registered Cognac recipes in history.
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, Renault Carte Noire XO is masterfully crafted from a selection of extra-aged eaux-de-vie sourced predominantly from the prestigious Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois crus. Utilizing traditional double distillation in Charentais copper alembic stills, the spirits are aged for up to 30 years in fine-grained French Limousin oak casks. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), this long wood maturation harmonizes delicate floral top notes with deep, luxurious rancio character.
In the glass, it displays a radiant, deep amber-mahogany hue with golden copper glints and slow, elegant legs. The nose opens with an exquisite, highly fragrant bouquet of dried apricots, candied orange peel, and toasted figs, underlaid by cinnamon, nutmeg, honeyed ginger, and a touch of polished oak. On the palate, a velvety, full-bodied, and rounded mouthfeel delivers decadent flavors of dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and stewed plums, beautifully balanced by warm baking spices, leather, and subtle tobacco leaf. The finish is remarkably long, smooth, and warming, fading gently with lingering echoes of vanilla bean, sweet dried fruit, and delicate wood tannins.
A classic choice for Cognac connoisseurs, luxury digestifs, and sophisticated gift-giving, Renault Carte Noire XO is best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a tulip glass or snifter after a fine meal. Order your bottle today from World of Whiskey Shop.
