A truly remarkable and historic bottling from Rouyer Guillet & Cie, this decanter represents a pinnacle of the brand's storied past. Titled "Le Cognac des Rois de France" (The Cognac of the Kings of France), this edition pays homage to King Louis XIV, who bestowed a 'Brevet Royal' (Royal Warrant) upon the house's founder in 1701. This royal connection underscores a heritage of exceptional quality and distinction that dates back centuries.
The centerpiece of this offering is the exquisite, ornate glass decanter. Its unique, rounded form features intricate raised detailing across the body, creating a stunning visual and tactile experience. The presentation is further enhanced by the iconic Rouyer Guillet angel emblem, a cherubic figure that graces many of the brand's most sought-after releases and symbolizes their "Réserve de l'Ange" or Angel's Share.
This particular edition, dedicated to LOUIS XIV, was likely bottled in the mid-20th century, around the 1960s or 1970s, a period when Rouyer Guillet was known for such elaborate presentations. The cognac within is a testament to the house's historical expertise, likely a finely aged blend sourced from premier crus. The decanter is sealed with a driven cork and a gold capsule, with a decorative neck tag reiterating its royal legacy.
Given its age, elaborate design, and the historical significance of the Rouyer Guillet name, this "Le Cognac des Rois de France" LOUIS XIV decanter is a significant find for any serious collector. It is a rare piece of cognac history, embodying the grandeur of a bygone era and the enduring legacy of one of Cognac's historic producers.
