The legendary Rémy Martin Louis XIII 'Very Old' Age Unknown is a monumental piece of spirits history. This rare bottling traces its lineage back to the historic royal banquet at the Château de Versailles in 1938, where it was served to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Crafted exclusively from the prestigious Grande Champagne cru—the premier cru of Cognac famed for its chalky soils—this masterpiece is a blend of hundreds of extremely old eaux-de-vie, some aged for over a century in ancient oak tierçons. The 'Age Unknown' designation on these mid-20th-century decanters reflects the timeless, unquantifiable nature of these historic reserves, presented in the iconic crystal decanter inspired by a 16th-century metal flask recovered from the Battle of Jarnac.

Founded in 1724 by the French winegrower of the same name, Rémy Martin is one of the oldest and most prestigious Cognac houses, based in the historic town of Cognac, France. The house is uniquely celebrated for its exclusive focus on Cognac Fine Champagne, sourcing grapes solely from the prestigious Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus to craft spirits of exceptional aging potential. Utilizing traditional double distillation on the lees in small copper pot stills, Rémy Martin ages its eaux-de-vie in toasted Limousin oak casks to develop its signature rich, aromatic profile. This meticulous craftsmanship culminates in world-renowned masterpieces, ranging from their classic VSOP and XO expressions to the legendary, ultra-premium Louis XIII.
