LOUIS XIII - The King of cognacs over the Times
Echo RenCreated in 1874, LOUIS XIII is one of the world’s most prestigious cognac brands. It is made from a blend of the finest and most precious eaux-de-vie, using grapes grown in Grande Champagne, encased in a unique decanter.
Time is at the heart of LOUIS XIII. It is the raw material, and each decanter represents the life achievement of generations of Cellar Masters, who rely on the mastery of their predecessors and successors to preserve the taste of LOUIS XIII throughout time.
After two years in development, Rémy Cointreau Global Travel Retail launched the new Louis XIII Cognac coffret in August 2023. This ultra-premium cognac packaging maintains Louis XIII's heritage and focuses on sustainability, using 100% cellulosic materials. The redesign has reduced CO2 emissions by 57%, making each coffret 24% lighter and 14% smaller for more environmentally conscious shipping.
Meanwhile, the coffret’s circular shape resonates with Louis XIII Cognac’s intrinsic relationship with time, and the raw materials used find embodiment in this creation. Rémy Cointreau's CEO Ian McLernon highlights the coffret's blend of design, innovative cognac experience, and ecological responsibility as a testament to Louis XIII's dedication to sustainability in travel retail.
Critic tasting note: "The aroma features fig, prune, pastry dough, honey and maple scents. On palate, Louis XIII offers long and intensely woody flavors; additional layers of flavor, including figs, dates, prunes, dried apricot and vanilla, are featured at midpalate. Finishes elegantly, warm, smooth and more oaky than fruity succulent."
