Louis XIII Black Pearl Cognac // 375 ml

A special edition released to commemorate the brand's 140th anniversary, Rémy Martin Louis XIII Black Pearl Cognac was drawn from a single 100-year-old tierçon (blending cask) labelled as C-100-93, containing eaux-de-vie ranging from 40 to 100 years of age. It is only the third of its kind released by the Hériad Dubreuil family’s private reserve in the last 100 years. This cask was carefully tended by four generations of Cellar Masters and only 775 bottles were produced, making it a very rare expression indeed.

As one of the world’s largest producers of Cognac, Rémy Martin has spent over three centuries perfecting their craftsmanship to produce Fine Champagne blends. The combination of eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus lays the foundation for this rare Cognac. The beautiful exchange between wood and eaux-de-vie creates unrivalled aromas and flavors over the decades.

With this luxurious blend, it is all in the little details. Sip slowly and meditatively, taking in each drop as it passes your lips. Pour a measure into a crystal tulip glass and allow the liquid to warm up and sit at room temperature for around ten minutes. It is at this point that you can begin your sensory journey: first taking in its amber color, then its aroma, then finally the taste. The fruit of nature, time, work and passionate people, Louis XIII Black Pearl is of true rarity, which nothing or no-one can ever reproduce.

Tasting Notes
— Color: Deep amber with golden reflections.
— Nose: Rich aromas of vanilla and cream slowly develop into complex spices, dried flowers and tropical fruits.
— Palate: Flavors of passion fruit, fresh ginger, nutmeg, and sandalwood create an exotic impression. The finish is exceptionally long, with oriental spices and the sweetness of dried pineapple. Unforgettable.

Everything about this Cognac is a work of art; the Baccarat crystal decanter will undoubtedly be the shining star of your collection. The original design has been based upon a bottle found on the site of the battle of Jarnac, which took place in 1569. This special release comes in a stunning presentation box featuring silver details.
