About LOUIS XIII de Rémy Martin



LOUIS XIII Cognac was created in 1874 by the House of Rémy Martin founded in 1724. It
is an intricate alchemy blended from 1,200 eaux-de-vie, created from the chalky soils of
Grande Champagne, the best growing area of the Cognac region, France. This cognac ages up
to 100 years in specially crafted barrels called tierçons. Four generations of cellar
masters have worked to oversee the unique blend, which evokes tasting notes and scents of
myrrh, honey, immortelle, plum, honeysuckle, wood bark, leather and passion fruits, making
it the most complex and most prestigious cognac in the world.
