THE RICHELIEU STORY

Rich, Rewarding, Richelieu.

Richelieu brandy is steeped in the tradition of the French brandy master's

art – the age-old skill of combining breeding, purity, mellowness and

maturity to produce a rich and rewarding, full-bodied brandy.

The brandy is double distilled in French copper pot stills which contribute to its rich and rewarding

full-bodied character. During this process, the brandy is subjected to the strictest quality controls,

ensuring brandy of the highest quality.

The mysterious maturation process takes place in casks of imported French oak, where the subtle

interaction of wood, spirit and air creates Richelieu's special smooth character.

Finally the brandy is blended to a special secret recipe – an art that relies solely on the brandy

master's highly developed sense of taste and smell.

The soft, round flavours and golden taste of Richelieu can only be achieved through the skills and

patience attained through age-old traditions handed down from generation to generation.

Richelieu is created to be a perfect blender, with supreme mixability and versatility. Two favourite

mixers; the French Kiss (the one the French made famous) – two tots Richelieu and ginger ale served

over ice for the perfect summer cooler! La Mer (as fresh as the summer sky over the Côte d’Azur) –

add freshly-squeezed, slightly-chilled orange juice to a tot of Richelieu on ice in a tall glass.

Rich, Rewarding, Richelieu – the brandy in the age-old French tradition.
