Distillery Information
Louis Royer is situated in the town of Jarnac, overlooking the Charente River. One of the oldest Cognac companies in the World, known for their love for bees, hence their bee emblem. Louis Royer was more than just a skilled cellar master, and it didn’t take him long to realize he would be much better off running his own business, rather than working for other Cognac houses. He set up his first Cognac still in 1853 at the ripe old age of 25. Before that, he kept bees to produce his own honey—a hobby that he maintained for his entire life. The logo of the Louis Royer Cognac remained a gold and blue honey bee to this day.
