Renault Cognac

In 1835, a 25-year-old entrepreneur from the Charentais region named Jean Antonin Renault founded Renault Cognac in the town of Cognac. Known for his innovative approach and appreciation of genuine quality, Renault was the first to ship his cognac in bottles to preserve its original taste and delicate flavors. He was also an avid traveler, selling his cognac during his journeys to various parts of the world, including Scandinavia, Germany, Eastern Europe, Iceland, the Americas, and Asia.

Renault Cognac’s flagship product is the iconic Carte Noire blend, which received a registered trademark in the United Kingdom in 1876, making it one of the oldest cognac recipes still in use today. Renault Cognacs continue to be produced in the heart of the Cognac region in the spirit of Jean Antonin Renault, maintaining the legacy of his unique style and long-standing reputation for high-quality cognacs.
