Lot presentation
Rémy Martin Of. Louis XIII (70cl.)
The wine
A blend from cellar master Baptiste Loiseau—the latest of four generations of cellar masters to have worked on this cognac, which features over 1,200 Grande Champagne cognacs aged for 40 to 100 years in Limousin oak casks, including some of the oldest in the Rémy Martin cellars. This is the house's most prestigious bottling and presented in a stunning mouth-blown crystal decanter, a reproduction of a metal flask found on the site of the Battle of Jarnac (1569), acquired by Rémy Martin in 1850. The bottling pays tribute to Louis XIII, a strong supporter of the cognac trade during his reign. The stopper is in the shape of the fleur-de-lys.
In 1724 Rémy Martin, a winegrower in the Cognac region of France, created the brand of the same name. All of the grapes used to produce its cognacs come exclusively from the two top growths in the region, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Of these exceptional cognacs, Louis XIII, created in 1874, became the house's iconic bottling. Produced from a blend of 1,200 cognacs aged in Limousin oak casks, Louis XII reveals incredible aromatic finesse. Over the years, Rémy Martin cognac established itself in the luxury industry with products that were increasingly upmarket.
