Louis XIII Cognac
We've seen the Louis XIII cognac
pop up in several pricey
cocktails so it only makes sense that so we eventually got
curious about the concoction. The Louis XIII is from Rémy Martin and is made of 100% Champagne grapes. The cognac is
blended from eaux de vie. some of which are more than 100 years old.The wine is aged in 'tiercons', barrels that are
several hundred years old, in a cellar set apart for it alone.Thecrystal carafe dates back
150 years when Paul-Emile Rémy Martin bought a Venetian-style decanter decorated with fleurs-de-lys and named his
cognac Louis XIII in homage to the period in which his family settled in the Cognac region of France and to the king
under whose reign Cognac was officially recognised as a category. The cognac sells for around $1500.
