Rémy Martin | Louis XIII Cognac

Louis XIII Cognac, named after the French King Louis XIII who recognized cognac as a distinct category of brandy, is a luxurious and renowned cognac crafted in the Grande Champagne region. The unique blend consists of up to 1,200 individual eaux-de-vie, aged from 40 to 100 years, making it one of the most complex and aged cognacs available.

The origins of Louis XIII date back to the early 1700s with the founding of the House of Rémy Martin in the Cognac region. The cognac was first created in 1874 by Paul-Emile Rémy Martin, who envisioned a cognac made from the oldest eaux-de-vie in the House, and it has since become a symbol of French craftsmanship and art-de-vivre. The cognac is aged exclusively in 100- to 150-year-old tierçons, special thin-walled French oak casks, and each generation of cellar master selects the oldest and best eaux-de-vie for Louis XIII from the House’s cellars.

The decanter of Louis XIII is based on a metal flask originally recovered from the site of the Battle of Jarnac (1569) and is handmade by renowned French crystal manufacturers such as Baccarat, Saint-Louis, and Cristallerie de Sèvres. The cognac is bottled in various sizes, including Classic, Magnum, Miniature, Jeroboam, and Mathusalem formats.

In addition to its rich history and extraordinary craftsmanship, Louis XIII Cognac has been a part of many significant occasions and is enjoyed by politicians, royalty, and celebrities. It embodies the values of excellence and tradition, with a complex flavor profile that reflects the meticulous blending process and the expertise of the Cellar Masters over generations.

Louis XIII Cognac represents not just a luxurious spirit but also a historical and cultural icon, embodying the legacy of the Remy Martin family and the art of cognac making. It's a testament to the dedication and passion that goes into creating a cognac of such caliber and prestige.
