LouisXIIICognac(700mL)

<p>Named after King Louis XIII of France, aka the “Cognac protector” this Cognac is the ultimate glam dram. </p><p>Charente is a historic town in<em> the Aquitaine region</em> of France — smack dab in the middle of the Grand Champagne Cru of Cognac. As <em>Catherine I. </em>rose from servant to Czarina of Russia and<em> Pope Benedict XIII</em> was enthroned in the Vatican,<em> the House of Rémy Martin</em> was founded on the banks of the Charente River in<em> 1724.</em> They began as a trading house run by <em>Paul-Emile Rémy Martin.</em></p><p>Today it’s one of the world’s largest and most illustrious Cognac houses with a dozen core offerings and many special releases and limited editions.</p><p>This is<em> the ultimate glam dram,</em> treasured by connoisseurs, royalty, glitterati, rappers… this Cognac is <em>a true masterpiece,</em> every drop brimming with opulence. To make <em>Louis XIII,</em> Rémy Martin Master Blenders harvest only the most exceptional grapes from the Grande Champagne cru,<em> distilled “on lees,” </em>a technique that imparts a more robust character to the final spirit.</p><p><em>Forget about raising the bar, Louis XIII is the bar. </em></p><p>Their eau de vie is aged in French Limousin oak casks charred and formed to the exact specifications necessary for crafting LOUIS XIII. The liquid undergoes <em>a dynamic aging process,</em> where it’s transferred to older and older barrels, moving from one cellar to the next creating the most balanced climate for aging.</p><p>The traditional <em>Louis XIII Cognac is a stunning alchemy,</em> a flawless blend of <em>over 1,200 different types </em>of Grand Champagne eaux-de-vie married together, with the youngest eau-de-vie being <em>40 years old</em> and the oldest being <em>over 100 years old </em>(a longer lifespan than 99% of the human population). This seemingly infinite aging process is stewarded by <em>at least three generations</em> of Rémy Martin cellar masters.</p><p>Expect ethereal notes of refined, nectar-rich opulence. With over 250 distinct flavors to discover, this Cognac is <em>one hell of a trip for your taste buds.<p><p>The 1% of Cognacs!</em></p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>The stunning, crystal hand-blown decanter is modeled after a flask that was lost on a French battlefield more than four centuries ago. A bottle of Louis XIII “L’Odyssee D’un Roi,” or “Journey of a King,” once sold at Sotheby’s for $134,750, making it one of the most expensive bottles ever auctioned. Only three bottles ever were produced. </em></p><p><p>*This bottle is a collector’s item; we will not be able to entertain any refunds or exchanges.</p><p>**Individual orders are limited to one item per person, as we wish to allow everyone to participate.</p><p>***Any kind of transit damage is insured and will be reimbursed.</p>
