Five centilitres is enough to get acquainted, without committing to a full bottle. Inside the small bottle sits the same plum marmalade and toffee found in its bigger sibling, just packed down to pocket size.
Expert's Description
Remy Martin Miniature 1738 Accord Royal is a French Cognac of the Fine Champagne category, bottled at 40% in a 5 CL bottle.
The miniature holds exactly the same liquid as the full-size Accord Royal bottle: a blend of at least 60% eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne and the rest from Petite Champagne, all from Remy Martin, the house that has brewed exclusively Fine Champagne Cognac since 1724.
The format makes it well suited for tasting your way in, bringing along on travels, or lining up alongside other miniatures for a small tasting at home. Nothing about the experience is diluted, only the quantity differs.
Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche and Colombard from the chalky soil of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne give it the same round, creamy character as the full-size bottle, just in a dose that is easy to share or enjoy alone.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Plum and fig marmalade appear alongside toffee and a hint of toasted bread, just as in the full-size bottle.
Palate
Creamy caramel and baked spice fill the mouth, with a touch of dark chocolate showing up toward the end.
Finish
The finish is short but warm, with caramel as the lasting impression.
