✨ Technical Specifications
Created as a tribute to the Paris World Fair of 1900, where Louis XIII Cognac was first presented and received the highest praise, this limited edition from the Time Collection is a masterpiece of liquid history. Crafted exclusively from the prestigious Grande Champagne terroir, the premier cru of Cognac, it is an exquisite blend of up to 1,200 distinct eaux-de-vie, some aged for over a century in ancient oak tiercons. The decanter itself is a work of art, inspired by a 16th-century metal flask found on the battlefield of Jarnac. On the palate, it delivers an unparalleled symphony of myrrh, honey, dried roses, plum, honeysuckle, cigar box, and leather, representing the pinnacle of French distillation heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1724 by winegrower Rémy Martin, Maison Rémy Martin stands as an essential pillar of Cognac viticulture and distillation history. Based in the town of Cognac within the Charente department, the house is renowned for crafting Fine Champagne Cognac, sourcing exclusively from the chalk-dominant, porous Cretaceous limestone soils of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. These dual premier crus yield exceptional acidity and aromatics, ideally suited for prolonged maturation. Distillation occurs traditionally on the fine lees in small copper Charentais pot stills, producing eaux-de-vie of notable depth, opulence, and structural longevity. Maturation takes place in fine-grained French Limousin oak casks, overseen today by Cellar Master Baptiste Loiseau. The estate and its partner cooperative, Alliance Fine Champagne, adhere to rigorous Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE Level 3) sustainable certifications. Celebrated benchmarks include the venerable Louis XIII, Rémy Martin XO, and 1738 Accord Royal, embodying layered notes of dried fruit, candied citrus, jasmine, and refined rancio.
