Richelieu Brandy: Richly Matured South African Craft Brandy

Richelieu Brandy is a distinguished South African spirit produced in the tradition of French brandy craftsmanship, combining grape-derived spirit with careful maturation in French oak casks. Known for its full-bodied character and elegant finish, this brandy offers both heritage and refinement, making it an excellent choice for sipping neat or in premium cocktails.

With an alcohol content of 43% ABV and typically available in a 750 ml bottle, Richelieu Brandy delivers a smooth, mature flavor profile. On the nose, you’ll find aromas of ripe plums and prunes, vanilla and mocha, with a hint of almonds. On the palate, the brandy is rich and full-bodied, with the cognac-oak maturation providing depth and a clean, dry finish.

On the nose, Richelieu Brandy opens with fragrant notes of dark stone fruits — plums, prunes — layered with creamy vanilla and subtle mocha. The tasting experience continues with a smooth palate showing warm caramel, almond, and light oak tones. The finish is refined: clean, dry, and lingering with a subtle note of wood and mature fruit.

Richelieu Brandy is versatile: enjoy it neat in a brandy snifter to savor its maturity and depth, or serve over a large ice cube for a slightly chilled experience. It also makes an elegant base for upscale cocktails such as a Brandy Old Fashioned or a Sidecar. Whether you’re relaxing in your chic villa in Jumeirah Hills Estates, Dubai, or enjoying a refined after-dinner drink in Al Muneera, Abu Dhabi, Richelieu Brandy adds an air of sophistication to any occasion.
