Dukes London has refreshed its Cognac and Cigar Garden in collaboration with Rémy Martin, unveiling a refined setting and a range of new epicurean experiences. The seasonal offering, available through the end of the year, pairs carefully selected Rémy Martin cognacs with cocktails and curated food accompaniments to create memorable tasting moments for visitors.
The programme highlights two distinct tasting formats. Cognac and food pairings let guests enjoy spirits neat or over ice, accompanied by delicate bites that enhance each expression’s flavour profile. Options include Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal served with frozen green grapes and salted caramel truffles, and Rémy Martin XO Ritual presented alongside goat cheese pearls and toasted brioche. Each pairing is designed to showcase the cognac’s texture and aromatic range while offering complementary contrasts in taste and mouthfeel.
For those who prefer mixed drinks, the cognac cocktail and food pairings introduce bespoke cocktails crafted with Rémy Martin cognacs and matched with appropriate small plates. Choices include the Rémy Grand Tonic, which pairs well with a selection of cured meats; the Royal Sidecar, matched with heritage beetroot; and the 1738 R Martin A Fizz, designed to accompany rump of lamb. These combinations aim to balance the cocktail’s structure with the flavours and textures of each dish.
The updated Cognac and Cigar Garden offers a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere suited to both casual drinks and special occasions. Open to Dukes London guests and visitors from across the city, the space provides a refined backdrop for tasting sessions, intimate gatherings and evenings focused on the appreciation of premium cognac and thoughtfully paired food. Seasonal availability means guests are encouraged to book or check opening times to experience the current menu before the programme concludes at year end.
This collaboration between Dukes London and Rémy Martin builds on a reputation for understated luxury, emphasising high-quality ingredients, considered presentation and attentive service. Whether sampling a neat expression, enjoying a signature cocktail or exploring the full tasting menu, guests can expect a polished experience rooted in expert pairing and a classic London setting.
