Louis XIII The Magnum | 1.5L

Rémy Martin's Louis XIII Cognac is based around a sizeable though carefully crafted recipe of different precious and old eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne region, some aged for more than 100 years, are combined to make this world-renowned expression. The bottle that Louis XIII is presented in is distinctive too, designed as an homage to a 1500s flask found on the site of the Battle of Jarnac. This is a 1.5 litre bottling of the extraordinary Cognac. The bottle is shaped the same as the standard-sized impressive bottle, and its still handcrafted by skilled crystal artisans but, y'know, it's bigger. It also comes in a very handsome presentation case...

Distillery Information

Rémy Martin, the Cognac house, was founded by Rémy Martin, the man, who was born in 1695 in the Charente region in France. He came from a family of wine merchants and in 1724 he moved into the Cognac business, founding a firm that would go on to be one of the ‘big four’ Cognac houses along with Martell, Hennessy and Courvoisier. At the time, new planting of vineyards was closely controlled to protect existing growers but in 1738 Martin obtained permission from King Louis XV to plant more grapes in the region. This momentous moment is commemorated in the 1738 Accord Royal bottling which was launched in 1997. Remy Martin is one of the most prestigious and consistent Cognac houses famous in particular for its VSOP Fine. The trademark frosted glass bottle was introduced in 1972 and in 1981 Remy Martin launched its first XO. Sitting at the top of the range is the fabulous Louis XIII which comes in a crystal decanter and was first created by Paul-Émile Rémy Martin in 1874. In 2003 Remy Martin was the first major Cognac house to appoint a female cellar master, Pierette Trichet, after whom the Remy Martin Trichet is named. The current cellar master Baptiste Loiseau took over in 2014. In 2015, Loiseau began trials with new grape varieties which may be more suitable for a warming climate than ugni blanc though these won’t become more widespread for decades.
