✨ Technical Specifications
Created in 1874 by Paul-Émile Rémy Martin, Louis XIII is the pinnacle of Cognac craftsmanship, named to honor the French monarch who first recognized Cognac as a distinct category of spirit. This legendary cuvée is an extraordinary blend of up to 1,200 individual eaux-de-vie sourced exclusively from Grande Champagne, the premier cru of the region. These precious spirits are aged over decades in 'tierçons'—historic, thin-walled oak casks originally used for transport. Each decanter represents the life's work of generations of Cellar Masters, who carefully select and blend the oldest and rarest spirits to maintain a consistent masterwork of dried fruits, myrrh, honey, and leather.
