Remy Martin Brandy Louis XIII Cognac/Baccarat Crystal, 700 milliliters

Product Information

At its simplest, The Drop is a single centilitre (10ml) of pristine blended Louis XIII Cognac presented in a chic, bijou bottle... but really it is so much more than that. What Louis XIII has created is a style icon for a new generation, a hit of pure luxury, a reinterpretation of taste and “art de vivre”, if you like. It is an opportunity for anyone to make Louis XIII part of their life journey, rather than a destination. The Drop is an open invitation to live your ethos, express your nomadic nature, and embrace your spirit of adventure by making a moment entirely personal and subjective: simply put, to make it yours. The taste experience will infatuate both the novice and connoisseur. On the nose expect powerful aromas, of cacao, clove and cinnamon spices, and coffee. On the palate the Cognac has a velvety smoothness, offering up flavors of chocolate, ancient cedar, furniture wax and spice-infused fruits which continue right to an exceptionally lengthy finish. For decades, a bottle of Louis XIII has represented the pinnacle of refinement, rarity, and master craftsmanship. It's described as the king of Cognacs, and its history is a mix of legend, artistry, and achievement. L’Odyssée d’un Roi was released as a collaboration with three French luxury houses, Hermès, Puiforcat, and Saint-Louis. Hermès created a bespoke leather trunk, Puiforcat forged a white gold serving pipette, and Saint-Louis hand-blew and engraved a unique version of the decanter with a map of Louis XIII’s journey around the world. Only three were made, and were auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York, Hong Kong, and London, with the proceeds benefitting The Film Foundation’s preservation efforts.

Paul-Emile broke from tradition and began bottling his cognacs rather than continuing to sell them by the barrel. In 1874, he began selling a blend of his best 100% Grande Champagne cognacs in an ornate decanter. While originally designated "Grande Champagne Very Old – Age Unknown", this particular blend and its decanter later became known as Louis XIII.

a b Phillips, Rod. "Rémy Martin's Louis XIII Cognac: The heart of cognac". nuvomagazine.com . Retrieved 5 April 2018. During the early years of Louis XIV’s reign, Anne and Mazarin introduced policies that further consolidated the monarchy’s power, angering nobles and members of the legal aristocracy. The juice is then left to ferment naturally for one to two weeks. Low initial alcohol content is considered an advantage, as the aromas of the cognac will be richer. However, as times change, new attitudes are forged, and the quest for original experiences continues. And like in 1874 when Paul-Emile Rémy Martin had the grand idea to “think a century ahead” by presenting a blend of the finest Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie in an ornate decanter decorated with the fleur-de-lys, so the Louis XIII legacy moves forward in 2022 with the latest and possibly most exciting expression to emerge: The Drop.

Everywhere you go in Cognac, people are drinking Cognac and tonic, or Cognac on ice before dinner,” Canto says. “It’s great, it’s easy.” Sipped straight

The Story

In most cases, stores will retail young V.S. cognac, which although isn’t always bad, it doesn’t offer the best experience or value for money that cognac can give you. The important thing to keep in mind is that owning and tasting a Cognac such as Louis XIII isn’t solely about the taste—it’s about the whole experience: from presentation to aroma, palate to reputation.
