LOUIS XIII Cognac, crafted by Rémy Martin since 1874, stands as the pinnacle of luxury cognac, born from a vision to honor the opulence of French kings, particularly Louis XIII, under whom the region’s eaux-de-vie first gained fame. Sourced exclusively from Grande Champagne’s finest terroir, it’s a blend of up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie, some aged over a century in tierçons—ancient Limousin oak casks—resulting in an unparalleled symphony of flavors: myrrh, honey, dried roses, and spice, unfolding over hours in the glass. Each crystal decanter, hand-blown by Baccarat artisans and adorned with fleur-de-lis, reflects a heritage overseen by generations of cellar masters, currently Baptiste Loiseau, who selects spirits begun decades before his birth. Priced at thousands of dollars per bottle, LOUIS XIII transcends drink to become a ritual—served in tiny sips from bespoke glasses—celebrated by icons like Winston Churchill and modern tastemakers alike for its timeless elegance and complexity.
