Each of the above Cognacs is worth tasting not just as a possible alternative to Louis XIII but because they are all exceptional Cognacs that offer a unique, luxurious, nuanced and flavorful celebration of the wonders of Cognac. Canto likes VS Cognacs in long drinks, such as with ginger beer, lime, and fresh mint. He also thinks they make great Sazeracs or Old Fashioneds, bringing “woodsy aromas from the barrel,” he says. However, as times change, new attitudes are forged, and the quest for original experiences continues. And like in 1874 when Paul-Emile Rémy Martin had the grand idea to “think a century ahead” by presenting a blend of the finest Grande Champagne eaux-de-vie in an ornate decanter decorated with the fleur-de-lys, so the Louis XIII legacy moves forward in 2022 with the latest and possibly most exciting expression to emerge: The Drop.

Although it may vary slightly, cognac prices are relatively consistent. Needless to say, older cognacs are more expensive and some Hors d’Âge blends like Louis XIII can easily cost several thousand dollars. He works with both the eau-de-vie set aside by the previous cellar masters, which he continues to blend, as well as to selecting new eau-de-vie that will eventually be used by his successors in the hundreds of years to come. Following the brand’s adage of “thinking a century ahead,” Loiseau will never actually taste the final cognac made as a result of his work today.

Born on September 5, 1638, to King Louis XIII of France and his Habsburg queen, Anne of Austria, the future Louis XIV was his parents’ first child after 23 years of marriage; in recognition of this apparent miracle, he was christened Louis-Dieudonné, meaning “gift of God.”Finally, to create the traditional LOUIS XIII Cognac, over 1,200 different types of Grand Champagne eaux de vie are blended together, with the youngest eau de vie being 40 years old and the oldest being over 100 years old. Given this astounding aging process, each bottle of LOUIS XIII has been stewarded by at least three generations of cellar masters from Rémy Martin.

To create our "Facets of LOUIS XIII" glasses, Christophe Pillet was a natural choice. The designer brings with him decades of experience of luxurious design that blends the traditional and modern in a holistic way. Immersing himself in the history of LOUIS XIII, from walking through the Cognac vineyards to discovering the exceptional know-how passed down through the LOUIS XIII Cellar Masters, gave him a unique foundation on which to create the design. Cognac goes through a rigorous production process that starts from the moment grapes are harvested right down to the aging. Indeed, cognac can be found in just about any liquor or convenience store with a license. However, while the quantity is certainly there, quality is another matter entirely. To do so takes the skills of an alchemist, the soul of a musician, and an uncanny ability to imagine just what the flavor of a perfectly aged eau-de-vie will be long after the taster has passed away.
