LOUIS XIII Rare Cask 42.6 is a unique expression in the cognac world. This limited edition showcases exceptional craftsmanship and is housed in a distinctive black crystal decanter that immediately sets it apart.

‎

Signature Creation

LOUIS XIII Rare Cask 42.6 stands out with its alcohol content of 42.6%—higher than the standard 40% found in traditional LOUIS XIII cognac. However, what truly makes this cognac special is its flavor complexity, which developed naturally during the aging process.

The flavor profile features the classic autumn notes of nuts and dried fruits that LOUIS XIII is known for, enhanced with distinctive notes of plum and date, warm gingerbread, and subtle prune stone, finishing with a touch of tobacco leaf.

‎

Master Craftsmen

This cognac represents the expertise of generations of cellar masters who recognize when nature has produced something extraordinary. The experts at Rémy Martin understand their role as guardians of these special tierçons from the Grande Champagne region.

‎

Flavor Profile

When tasting LOUIS XIII Rare Cask 42.6, you'll notice layers of flavor that unfold gradually. The initial taste delivers the rich autumn flavors characteristic of LOUIS XIII, followed by an enhanced richness with good depth.

The flavor evolves from dried fruits to warm spices with each sip. The higher alcohol content doesn't overpower but instead helps deliver the concentrated flavors with precision.

‎

Tasting Experience

This cognac is best enjoyed neat in crystal tulip glasses that help concentrate the aromas. Dark chocolate with high cocoa content pairs well with it, complementing the fruited notes. LOUIS XIII Rare Cask 42.6 is ideal for special celebrations or as a finishing touch to a fine dining experience.

‎

The Exquisite Coffret

Each bottle comes in a forged-metal case sealed with a plaque matching the decanter's neck. The case features a quadrilobe pattern that references the royal fleur-de-lys of France.

When opened, the case reveals an illuminated interior with mirrors that reflect light on the black crystal and rose gold elements, highlighting the craftsmanship of both decanter and case.

‎
