✨ Technical Specifications
First created in 1874, Louis XIII is the crown jewel of Remy Martin, representing the absolute pinnacle of Cognac craftsmanship. This legendary 'Tres Vieille' edition, bottled in 1969, is an exquisite blend of up to 1,200 individual eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from the chalky, limestone-rich soils of Grande Champagne, the premier cru of the Cognac region. These precious spirits were aged for decades in historic, thin-walled oak tiercon casks, some of which date back to the 19th century. The iconic decanter itself is steeped in history, its design inspired by a metal flask recovered from the site of the Battle of Jarnac in 1569. On the palate, it offers an unparalleled symphony of myrrh, dried fruits, honey, cigar box, and delicate floral notes, culminating in a legendary finish that lingers on the palate for hours.
