An icon of luxury and a testament to the art of time, this Rémy Martin Louis XIII represents a pinnacle of achievement in the world of fine spirits. This bottling, dating from approximately 2002, is a breathtaking blend of up to 1,200 individual eaux-de-vie, each exclusively sourced from the chalky soils of the prestigious Grande Champagne cru. Every drop within this decanter is a piece of history, with the youngest spirit aged for a minimum of 40 years and the oldest maturing for over a century.
The creation of Louis XIII is a legacy passed down through generations of Rémy Martin's Cellar Masters. Each master sets aside the finest eaux-de-vie, knowing they will likely never taste the final blend, entrusting the future of this exquisite cognac to their successors. This profound dedication ensures that every decanter of Louis XIII delivers an unparalleled sensory experience, with a complex bouquet and a finish that lingers as a testament to its long maturation in ancient Limousin oak casks known as 'tierçons'.
Presented in its legendary handcrafted Baccarat crystal decanter, this cognac is as much a work of art as it is a spirit. The design is a faithful reproduction of a 16th-century metal flask discovered on the site of the Battle of Jarnac. This particular edition from the early 2000s is a highly sought-after collector's item, embodying the opulence, heritage, and masterful craftsmanship that define the "King of Cognacs."
The decanter's presentation is immaculate, featuring a gold foil neck label distinguished by the Fleur-de-lis emblem and elegant typography spelling out "LOUIS XIII de Rémy Martin GRANDE CHAMPAGNE." The stopper is similarly adorned, with "LOUIS XIII" and the Fleur-de-lis symbol embossed on its top. Essential details, including the 750ml volume and 40% alc./vol., are displayed on clear labels at the base, along with the U.S.A. distributor information and the government warning.
Visually, the bottle is a masterpiece of crystal artistry. The iconic Baccarat decanter showcases 12 fluted sides, with three prominent clear glass medallions on its body, each bearing an embossed Fleur-de-lis. The four 'feet' of the decanter base are also graced with smaller Fleur-de-lis symbols. A brilliant gold metallic capsule covers the cork, and the stopper is crowned with a gold disc that elegantly frames the central emblem with the "LOUIS XIII" and "REMY MARTIN" names.
This bottle is in exceptional condition, a crucial factor for any serious collector. The fill level is superb, resting well above the shoulder and high into the neck, indicating perfect storage and minimal evaporation over the years.
