0011. LOUIS XIII 1.5 LITER
LOUIS XIII Magnum 1.5L
In 1997, Rémy Martin first launched the 1.5-liter cognac bottle – was called Louis XIII Magnum and was became the largest crystal decanter for cognac in the world at the time.
Rémy Martin was born in 1695 near Rouillac, who created a trading house of cognac. After his death in 1773, his grandson, also named Rémy, pursued the business. In 1841, Paul-Emile-Rémy Martin assumed control of the market and oversaw significant growth. He added a logo to the bottles and cases, in the shape of a centaur, a mythological creature whose star sign Sagittarius matched that of Martin.
Allmost Rémy Martin cognacs had the Cognac Fine Champagne appellation, meaning that they came exclusively from a blend of Eaux-de-vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, with at least 50% of Grande Champagne. However, Louis XIII Magnum was sourced 100% from Grande Champagne. Thanks to chalky soils, these Eaux-de-vie have excellent aging potential, and a distinguish aromatic intensity.
LOUIS XIII develops intense aromas which persist more than one hour on the palate. The myriad of reflections and colors dancing in the light ranges from assertive and flamboyant golden hues to marvelous reflections of mahogany, all the way up to fiery red.
Remy Martin decanter was hand blown, was numbered, encased with a gold neck and adorned with the fleur de lis.
