An exquisite introduction to one of the world's most legendary cognacs, presented in a miniature crystal decanter modeled after a 16th-century flask discovered on the battlefield of Jarnac, France. Each decanter is individually hand-cut, blown, and numbered, with an iconic 18-carat minimum gold neck and fleur-de-lys stopper.
Color: Deep mahogany with rich amber hues, acquired through decades of aging in century-old Limousin oak casks.
Nose: An opulent and complex bouquet of myrrh, honey, dried roses, and cigar box, evolving to reveal honeysuckle, jasmine, and delicate floral essences as the cognac breathes.
Palate: Richly textured and intensely complex — mandarin, melon, dried mango, pineapple, passion fruit, and plum, balanced by undertones of leather, figs, and warm spices. Silky and sophisticated throughout.
Finish: Exceptionally long and luxurious, extending for over an hour after tasting, with aromatic reminiscences that linger and spark buried memories.
Crafted exclusively from 100% Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie — the Premier Cru of the Cognac region — LOUIS XIII is a meticulous blend of up to 1,200 individually aged eaux-de-vie ranging from 40 to 100 years old, matured in rare tierçon casks of 100-150-year-old Limousin oak. Since 1874, each Cellar Master has set aside the finest eaux-de-vie for their successor, ensuring a legacy spanning over 150 years. Best enjoyed neat, one drop at a time — this is the fragrance of time itself.
