Description

A vintage 1990s bottling of Louis XIII de Rémy Martin — the same extraordinary cognac in the decanter format of its era. Up to 1,200 eaux-de-vie each aged between 40 and 100 years, sourced exclusively from Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac.

Louis XIII was created by Paul-Émile Rémy Martin in 1874 and has been the apex expression of the Rémy Martin house for 150 years. The cognac comprises up to 1,200 individual eaux-de-vie from Grande Champagne — the chalky Campanian soil of the Premier Cru zone, which produces the longest-lived and most complex Cognac distillates. Each component has been aged between 40 and 100 years before blending. The youngest component is older than most of the world’s most celebrated whiskeys.

This 1990s bottling predates the current production era — a vintage decanter from a specific moment in the Louis XIII program. The 1990s production reflects the eaux-de-vie inventory of that decade: stocks aged through the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s forming the oldest components. A 1990s Louis XIII is both a historic artifact of Rémy Martin’s production history and a demonstration of what extraordinary aged Cognac achieved in that era’s cellar master hands.

Tasting Notes
